Rachel Crawford moves away to pursue a career but occasionally returns for visits.
Rachel Crawford, portrayed by Telma Hopkins, is a character in the sitcom “Family Matters.” She is the sister of Harriette Winslow and initially moves in with the Winslow family after the death of her husband. Rachel is also the mother of Richie Crawford. As the series progresses, Rachel opens a restaurant called Rachel’s Place. In later seasons, her character is written out of the show when she decides to move away to pursue a career as a writer. However, she makes guest appearances in subsequent episodes, showing that she maintains a close relationship with her family despite her absence. Rachel’s departure from the main cast reflects the show’s shift in focus towards Steve Urkel and the Winslow family’s interactions with him.
