She was born in Concord to Lester Keith Poplin and Wilma Louise Helms Poplin on Aug. 28, 1928. Her family later moved to Hanes Town, where as a teenager she met Fred Snow.

Rachel enjoyed cross stitching, crocheting, cooking and baking. Her family especially liked Ma Ma’s pound cake, pecan pie, chocolate pie, and Moravian sugar cake.
