Raechel Danene Pond

Raechel Danene (Collins) Pond, long time San Angelo resident, peacefully passed away on March 9, 2026 at her home. She was born in Albuquerque, NM on December 9, 1965 to the late Earnest and Darlene Collins.

Our sweet Raechel will be remembered for her quick witted sense of humor, a little bit (or a lot) of sassiness and her positive approach to life. Ronnie says that Raechel was always reassuring him that everything “is going to be okay!” One of Raechel’s greatest joys was being outdoors and loving nature – birds, flowers, she appreciated it all. In addition, Raechel had the most genuine hug. When she hugged you, you knew you were deeply loved. As a single mother with two young children, Raechel always made time for them and never missed one of their events. Although Christ has called Raechel home, she will live in our hearts forever.

Raechel is survived and greatly missed by her loving husband Ronald B Pond, daughter Amanda Danielle Stanley (Richard) of Odessa, Tx (grandchildren Kyle Thomas Suarez and Winter Skye Stanley), son Dakota Cooke of San Angelo, TX and step son Aaron Pond (Jessica) (grandchildren Chris, Mandy and Jason) of Midland, Tx. Raechel is also survived by two siblings, Tracy Nelson and Robert Collins and a niece and three nephews. She also leaves behind other family members and friends who will sadly miss her.

Raechel was preceded in death by her parents Earnest V Collins and Darlene A (Smith) and brother Derek Zane Collins.

The family will have a Celebration of Life at a later date.
