She is the oldest resident to ever live at Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroits Fleischman Residence (6710 W. Maple Road in West Bloomfield) which is cause for celebration. Shes going to party with her family and friends at Fleischman where shes lived each day to the fullest since she moved in 10 years ago in 2014. There will be live entertainment from 1 to 2 p.m. and cake plus Rachels trademark positive outlook and pearls of wisdom from 2 to 3 p.m. A few fun facts:

Rachel regularly participates in activities at the senior community and its life enrichment director, Jurgita Atanaskovski, told us its quite fascinating to watch her curiosity and eagerness to try new things.
Longevity runs in Rachels family; her parents lived to 93 and 95 years old and her brother to 102. She has lived through the polio epidemic, Spanish Flu in 1918 when she was three, and Covid, which she contracted and beat when she was 104.
Rachel was born in 1915 in Montreal, and has lived in a variety of places during her life including North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. She has one son, two grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Rachel tells others dont hate anyone, dont look at others with jealousy, and be kind. Like everyone, she has experienced hardships, but looks at the good things I have and they make me happy.
