The community of DuBois, Pennsylvania, is deeply heartbroken by the passing of Rachel Roman, a beloved daughter, friend, and Ramp Certified Bartender, whose radiant spirit and compassion touched the lives of everyone she met. Her loss has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
A proud graduate of DuBois Area Senior High School and Jeff Tech, Rachel built a life rooted in kindness, integrity, and hard work. She lived in DuBois and was originally from Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania, where she formed lifelong friendships and made countless memories that will be treasured forever.
Rachel worked as a Ramp Certified Bartender for special events, where she was known for her professionalism, charm, and genuine care for people. Whether she was serving guests or sharing a laugh with friends, she did everything with grace and heart. Her warmth was magnetic — she had the rare ability to lift spirits, to make others feel seen and loved, and to remind everyone around her what true kindness looked like.
Those who knew Rachel best describe her as someone who embodied loyalty, empathy, and strength. A dear friend shared, “Her smiles, kindness, and caring for people were something we should all strive to emulate. I’ve known her for 27 years, and there was never a time she wasn’t her best self toward me. I am eternally grateful to have had such a person in my life.”
Rachel was the kind of person who would stand by you on your hardest days and celebrate with you on your best ones. Her compassion was endless, and her laughter could brighten any room. The outpouring of love and memories shared in her honor shows just how many lives she touched and how deeply she will be missed.
In her memory, friends and family are coming together to support one another and to help with her final arrangements. A GoFundMe has been set up, and a benefit event is being planned for December 13, where those who loved Rachel can gather to celebrate her life and legacy.
As one tribute so beautifully stated: “Remember to be kind to your friends, for you never know what tomorrow brings.”
Rachel’s light will continue to shine in the hearts of everyone she inspired — her love, laughter, and kindness will never be forgotten.
