Rachel Nicole Bolan, 36, most recently of Westminster, CO, passed away on December 08, 2022.

Rachel was born on July 03, 1986 to Dr. Tom and Lou Anne Bolan in Wichita, Kansas.  They soon moved to Jupiter, Florida, and then on to Aurora, Colorado where she spent the next 32 years. She attended both grade school and middle school in Aurora, then received her GED as an adult of which she was very proud.  Rachel completed her cosmetology training and certification and she loved doing hair and make up for herself as well as others.  She was also an accomplished dog trainer having been certified and licensed, and she was an expert at rescuing animals from local shelters and successfully training them.  She also enjoyed decorating wherever she was living and enjoyed salvaging and refurnishing old furniture to either resell or use for herself.  She was most recently enrolled in multiple college courses at Metro State University in Denver, studying business.  Her dream was to one day own her own business of some kind and run it herself.  Rachel was passionate about many things, but none more so than singing and performing. She participated in multiple praise teams over the years, and had the opportunity to sing back up on tracks for several up and coming musical artists in the Denver area. But more than anything else, Rachel loved her 3 children.  She was a very sensitive soul who loved unselfishly and gave of herself completely to her kids and others who were not as fortunate. Rachel is survived by her parents, Dr. Tom and Lou Anne Bolan of Dallas, Texas, a brother, Tommy Bolan, age 42, who lives in Durham, NC, and a sister, Rebecca Mancuso, age 40, (and her husband John), of Parker, Colorado, a brother Scott Bolan, 38, (and his significant other, Willow Snapp-Childs) of Aurora, Colorado, as well as her youngest sister Allison Bolan, 28, currently in Texas. She is also survived by her 3 beautiful children, Cameron Sandoval-Bolan age 16, Elijah Bolan age 5, and Carmella Bolan age 1 all of the Denver metro area.  Nothing made her more happy or prouder than to be with her children and watch them grow.  A memorial service for friends and family by invitation only will be held in Aurora, Colorado.
