Remembering Rana Cameron

Prayers for the entire family. I worked with Rana at El Camino, camped with the family and Stuart remodeled our kitchen. We were in the same fellowship group and have wonderful memories with the family. It is beautiful to see the impact Rana has had on so many people. She is rejoicing with Jesus and other saints. We can look forward to seeing her again. Love to you all.

Standing in hope with you, so thankful for Rana's joy to the end. Love you all beyond words.

I love you all so much. Rana is such a gift to us all in our Foxhole Sisterhood. We will miss her laugh, her welcoming presence, fierce love and fight against the evil forces of this world. She loved you all so deeply and I know the grief will feel unbearable at times. Know that we grieve with you all and not a single tear is wasted. Our Abba collects every single one of them. We love you. We love Rana and we collapse into our faith to have hope that we will all be with her again.

Mourning with you and rejoicing that she is with Jesus ❤️

Mourning with you friends and anticipating the day of reuniting with Rana in heaven.



Rana taught me so much about being a youth leader, woman of faith, mother, and friend. Rana (and all the Cameron clan) showed how to enter into a difficult battle armed with Jesus' love and how to do it well. I've never seen anyone or any family walk through difficulties like this and do it as faithfully as you all have.



Love you long time Cameron Clan

Rana's legacy will no doubt last for generations. I will never forget worshipping Jesus with her and proclaiming his faithfulness and love even in the midst of terrible pain. We love you, Camerons.

When I first messaged Rana for advice on a topic I had known she helped a lot of women walk through, her warmth and care was felt even through a screen. The interactions I shared with her at church or retreat felt like talking to someone I had known my whole life. She was so encouraging and had the best stories to tell, always full of joy, even in the midst of hard and pain. Mourning alongside you all and praying for God's hope and love to comfort you.

My heart breaks for you as you grieve the loss of an incredible woman and I rejoice that she is healed and face to face with our Jesus. My prayers are with you all. Love to you.💜

So thankful for my friendship with Rana! Our time together as youth coaches, going to camp with students, many, many dinners at their home, and all the counsel and love she gave me. My life is richer because of her presence and I'm so grateful God brought her into my life.

We love all of you so much Cameron Clan! We are so sad that Rana is no longer with us here on earth but oh so glad that she is with Jesus! I have such great memories of her stories at Women's retreats and her testimony has changed many lives. Praying for comfort for you all, she was dearly loved!

Praying for all of you today and my heart is heavy with yours.

Stuart, I can't imagine what you're going through and I will pray that Jesus comforts you in this season.

Sarah, you are such an inspiration to me and I'm praying you feel filled with all you need to be a mom and caregiver right now.

Alec, I don't really know you but you must be an amazing human. I'm praying for you.

Elly, you care so much for your family and I pray that you feel Jesus surround you like a blanket right now.

Ari, you are too young to lose so much at once and you're so strong. Praying you know Jesus is faithful.

Noah, you're such a kind kiddo and Waffles is excited to see you again.

Abri, I love you so much and I can't wait to play more Banana Store!

Oh Sweet Family! Growing up with Rana she showed such love and grace even as a teen. Her love for God and others only grew as she she got older. It was a joy to join in the wedding party as she & Stuart wed so many years ago.

Stuart- my heart aches for you as I know the pain of losing a spouse. The pain is so deep but I pray God's comfort on your heart.

The way Rana's Family has surrounded her with such love and care- especially these past few months, is incredible. I grieve for those left here without her, but rejoice that she is face to face with our Savior and totally pain free! She is where we ALL long to be.

Much love and continued prayers 🙏 ❤️

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." I don't know that I've ever met someone who exemplified those words better than Rana. She was strong and wise and funny and joyful and knew when to bring out the sass. She was a gift to this world and we will miss her immensely. We're grieving with you all and praying that Jesus will show you his kindness in the midst of the pain. We love you!

There are truly no words to express what Rana meant to me. Her gentle way of pointing me back to Jesus when I needed it, and a swift, ungentle pointing back when I needed that. Her advice and consistent follow up with me will continue to have an impact on my life for as long as I live. And, my word, was she funny. I have laughed more times than I can remember over avocado toast with her. I know that she met with dozens of women, but she always made me feel like I was the only one because she always had time for me was so fully engaged in my circumstances. There will never ever be someone else like Rana. Her legacy will live on through every person she has touched, and they are without number. Thank you, Camerons, for sharing the precious gift of Rana with so many people.

My first interaction with Rana was at retreat shortly after we had our girls placed with us through the foster care system. She didn't know me, yet embraced me warmly, cried with me, and prayed for me. The Notheis family loves you, Camerons, and are praying that Jesus's love and the promise of a heavenly reunion with Rana sustains you in your grief ❤️

Love you guys. Thanks for all the updates and vulnerability in walking through this! I will be praying for Gods comfort, peace, and strength for your family in the coming days.

There are so many things to love about Rana, like how she always seemed to have a warm smile and tight hug at the ready. But what I appreciate most about her life is she was a bonafide church mother. She nurtured and loved her own family, and her care extended well beyond it. She spiritually mothered many women in our church towards health and wholeness. And while I didn't experience her investment personally, I always felt the notion that she was warmly cheering me on as well. I am so grateful for her faithfulness, and I miss her sweet presence in our church. We love you Cameron clan - thank you for sharing Mama Rana with us.

Stuart, Rana & family were part of our Living Water fellowship group back in 2003 - Wow - how time does fly! Rana and Stuart clearly loved the Lord and had a strong desire to serve Him with their lives. We had great fellowship together - camping and playing desert croquet amongst other things, God took us on other paths beginning in 2006 and we sort of lost track of Stuart and Rana over the course of time. I occasionally saw Stuart through work. We look back on those days with fond memory and the blessed assurance that we will spend an eternity with Rana and Stuart together with our Savior, Jesus Christ! Praise God for His mercy toward us. We love you, Stuart and family and pray that God's peace will overflow in your hearts as you continue to serve Him! (The link above has a few photos of Rana & family)

I am so thankful for the legacy that Rana has left in your beautiful family. She is one of the most impressive individuals I ever had the joy of knowing. Jesus has done so much good. Love you Camerons!!

Hi Dear Sweet Cameron Clan,

I know that you know that you all mean the world to me, as did you precious Nana Rana. Rana Cameron was a LIGHT in my life in a very dark time. As you know, we are reading through some books together as a church together, and in that book study one of the questions that was asked was "who are the spiritual mothers and fathers in your life?" I can confidently say that Rana Cameron was emphatically, 100%, without a doubt, a FIERCE spiritual mother to me. When I was going through a rough pregnancy, I remember sobbing in the bathroom and she (not even knowing me that well at the time) went after me and just held me as I cried. We became friends and she would hold space for me and listen to all of my trauma and woes, and pray with me. Over time I lost track of how often I walked away feeling encouraged by her, her faith, her hugs, and her listening ear. As time went on she shared parts of her story with me which was precious and healing to me. I loved hearing her rawness, her honesty, and her steadfastness in Jesus through it all. She had great faith in Jesus having lived a life that was not devoid of suffering. Her perspective was refreshing and beautiful, and I saw much of Jesus through her. One thing that inspires me so much about her, was that she, though she suffered- she sought healing, broke cycles, and regularly helped others and loved others well. She held support groups, gave talks, did training with the Allender Center, spoke of dreams of providing equine therapy to others, and was just generally a safe/loving/supportive presence to so many around her. She was a beloved mother to her children and grandmother to her grandkids, who loved her family well. Her life and her personhood were absolutely radiant and she was an infectious person to be around. She spoke of Jesus highly and often, with a rawness and complete down-to-Earth attitude that gave no impression of anything other than a deep and authentic faith. She is such a beautiful person, and one of my absolute favorite people to be around. I am thankful that she gets to finally be at home with her El Roi, and I am thankful to have had the absolute honor of being able to call her my friend. She will be greatly missed by me and my family.

Camerons, we love you so much and are not going anywhere. Thank you for inviting us in on your journey through all these years. We will continue to pray for you as you grieve and mourn. And as you have said so many times, we are grateful to Jesus who holds it all together somehow and who has Rana in the palm of his hand.



Much Love,



Suzie Gallaher

What has stood out most as I process this last month since Rana has been gone is how much she ministered to me in my darkest night. Shortly after her diagnosis I experienced a very dark and devastating season in my own life. Rana would text me regularly and tell me how she was sleepless in the night so she prayed for me. I could never explain how much that meant to me and carried me in numerous ways. I felt seen, known, loved, and carried. It was later that I realized that I wasn't the only one she was holding up during those sleepless nights and I'll never know how many lives she interceded for during those times. Just another branch of her legacy that will live on.

I'll miss worshiping with her. There is something holy and reverent about watching someone worship who knew they would soon be meeting their creator. She held nothing back. THAT led me into worship week after week. I miss lifting our hands together, lifting our eyes to Jesus together through music. Until that day when we get to worship together again... love you mama Rana.
