Rachel Ruth Nystrom-Schueller

Rachel Ruth Nystrom-Schueller, 33, passed away peacefully at home with her husband and fur babies by her side, on September 24, 2022. She is survived by her loving husband, Andrew Schueller, mother, Wendy Nystrom, sister, Stacy Nystrom, aunt, Carlye Nystrom, and uncle, Carter (Kim) Nystrom. Also survived by her in-laws, niece and nephew and many friends so close they're considered family. She was preceded in death by her father, Clay Nystrom, and uncle, Paul Deneka. Rachel was born May 18th, 1989, in St Louis Park, MN. She grew up in Waconia, MN. Her love of water began early, as she and her sister spent many afternoons swimming together in Lake Waconia. She worked at the local movie theater in high school, and enjoyed watching and quoting movies with her co-workers. She went to college at Winona State University before transferring to Minnesota State University, Mankato. In Mankato she joined Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, and met the love of her life, Andrew, at a sorority-fraternity mixer. After graduating with a degree in Communications, she interned for a non-profit organization, READ/San Diego. Rachel loved being in San Diego and spent many days at the beach. She also enjoyed visiting the San Diego Zoo and watching all the big cats. Even after completing her Internship and returning back to MN, Rachel would always be planning her next trip back to California. She and Andrew were married in San Diego on September 29, 2017. Rachel worked at LUSH Cosmetics as their Social Media Manager and Sales Ambassador. She loved helping people find products to feel like the best versions of themselves, and would always give everyone she knew a personalized gift during the holiday season. Rachel made friends everywhere she went. She had a generous and lively spirit that naturally attracted people to her. Rachel's signature roar of laughter was infectious, and she made jokes and shared witty movie quotes with everyone she could. She had a bit of a devious side, too, and would often pull pranks or get a cake with absurd phrases written on top. She liked to keep her husband and friends on their toes. Something everyone will remember about Rachel is that she absolutely loved animals. She would bring her dog Scout with to every party, camping trip or event she could. She would praise and spoil her curmudgeon cat, Henri, even when he was terrorizing her friends and family. She was fiercely competitive and refused to lose; board game nights needed a pre-warning, as games of Monopoly would go on for hours, as she refused to go bankrupt; she would carry a vendetta for multiple rounds of exploding kittens. This trait was also present in her long journey with many health issues, her fighting spirit carried her through multiple surgeries and procedures, long stays in the hospital, numerous treatments and medicines, but she refused to give up. She battled bravely, until her body was too weak to go on. Many people she met weren't even aware of the extent of her illness, because she was so outwardly cheerful and upbeat. Rachel wouldn't let her illness get the best of her hosting and attending as many gatherings as she could, even traveling the world, visiting Australia, Fiji, Hong Kong and Japan. The world is much quieter without Rachel, but everyone she met has special memories and shared experiences to remember her by. A memorial service will be held at Washburn McReavy Bloomington Chapel, 2300 W. Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431, on Saturday, October 8th, beginning at 3:00 pm, with an hour of visitation before. A Gofundme has been started in honor of Rachel, to support Andrew and her family as they navigate through these difficult times. Gofund.me/e0df21f9
