Rachel Harper Starnes
April 21, 1974 – April 1, 2016
Our precious Rachel Harper Starnes passed away April 1, 2016 at the age of 41. The world has lost a gifted artist and a unique and beautiful soul.
Rachel grew up in Friendswood, Texas. She was devoted to family and had a deep love for her brothers, sisters-in-law, niece and nephews.

Harper; mother Cindy Landers Harper; grandparents Carol Landers and Rosie Harper Riley; brothers Bubba Harper, Joey Harper and Adam Harper; sisters-in-laws, Rebecca Coffman Harper and Lauren Winterbauer Harper; beloved niece and nephews Gracey Jo Harper, A.J. Harper and Jake Harper; uncle John Landers and aunts Nona Nelson Landers and Amber Harper Branch.
Space does not permit individual listing of all the great aunts, great uncles and cousins she loved but it does not diminish the importance they held in her life.
A memorial service will be held at Crowder Funeral Home on Medical Center Blvd. in Clear Lake on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 2:00pm.
Our prayers for peace are with you all. Rachel had such a light and such grace. May you find peace in her memories…. Gods peace over comes all things….

Dear Harper Family – my deepest condolences to you all. Rachel was a bright shining light in this world. Even when we were kids, her smile and infectious laugh could cheer up a room. Sending prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.
I read this passage yesterday and thought of you. I hope you find comfort in the words. Rest in peace Rachel!
Psalm 91:4, “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
My deepest sympathy to your family. Indeed we have lost a lovely woman. Jennifer said it best, her laugh was absolutely infectious. I will forever carry all the laughter and joy we had together as teens. Sending you much love and peace.
