Raine loved her family and friends and could usually be found on her deck entertaining visitors. She enjoyed the outdoors- planting flowers, reading in the sun, and feeding the raccoons and other animals who frequently visited her yard. Raine was a self proclaimed night owl and did some of her best painting, song writing, and guitar playing while others slept. She will be missed by so many!!
A memorial service will be held at Miller Funeral Home, 3200 Golansky Blvd , Woodbridge, VA, Tuesday August 13, 2019 at 12:00 PM, with the family receiving family and friends immediately after the service at her home.
In honor of Raine’s vibrant personality, the family encourages guests to wear a touch of yellow as it was her favorite color.
