Rachel attended grade school at Webster Square & Gates Lane, and graduated from Commerce High in 1924. She attended Becker Business College in the night program.
She was employed by the Bancroft Hotel as a cashier. She later worked for Reed & Prince as a stenographer/office clerk. She worked at the Worcester Public Library in the 1950s and 1960s when her 2 sons James and William were in school.

After Rachel Conger and Sherman Allen were married in 1934, they lived in Jamaica Plain, Boston in the mid-1930s. Sherman worked in Roxbury as a Cook. They returned to live in Worcester in the late 1930s and settled there. They lived at 10 New York St. which abuts Hope Cemetery on the North Side of Worcester.

Per her son, William "Rusty," and because of her Salvation Army heritage: she was frugal and cautious; she liked to read, do handcrafts and anything related to family. She played the saxophone and was shy and reserved.
