​Lori Beth resides in McDonough with her husband, Sam, and their two sons, Jake and Shane. Sharon Baptist is their church home. She founded Rachel's Gift in 2008 after an automobile wreck caused the death of her daughter, Rachel, with whom she was in her 8th month of pregnancy. Her passion is to assist other mothers through this often "silent grief" and to empower hospital staff to become more confident and comfortable caring for these patients during their time of crisis. She is most thankful for all of the others who have come alongside her to advocate and assist in many ways with this mission.

​Elizabeth is a metro Atlanta native. She became involved with Rachel's Gift as office administrator in 2017. She is proud to help spread the mission of Rachel's Gift. In her spare time, she enjoys time with her dogs, fun with her niece, being outside, and reading a good book. The day to day operations could not happen without Elizabeth's expertise and ability. She has truly taken Rachel's Gift to the next level and has been an integral part of our growth and development.

She is married to Marvin and they have a blended family (Brooklynn, Marvin Jr, Lailah, and Trinity) and they have an angel baby, Lauren Simone.

She enjoys rock climbing/hiking, OrangeTheory, wine tasting, relaxing on the beach, and singing in the car (when NO one can hear). Shannon is a highly trained Realtor/Broker of a large team in the South Metro Atlanta area who is passionate about her clients. Shannon was 28 years old when she became a believer and shares the love of Christ in all aspects of her life.

It also is evident in the ministries she serves through the financial support and time she gives.​
