Evelyn Raelene (Burnette) Northup

Evelyn Raelene (Burnette) Northup finished her Journey here on earth on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at Holzer Medical Center Emergency Room.

Raelene had worked in Medical Records at Arbors at Gallipolis, Holzer Senior Care, and Woodland Center. She was a beloved sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her greatest joy was serving the Lord, being a mother, and an exceptional maw maw. Raelene also passionately loved cooking and took great joy in feeding anyone that came into her home. To know her was to love her. She was undeniably selfless and full of compassion, empathy, and love for all. She was a true inspiration to so many.
