Rainelle Bennett, 52, of Nimitz, West Virginia, passed away peacefully with loved ones on Friday, August 25th. She was born to Catherine Keaton, formally Meador and James Jollymore on December 25, 1970.

Rainelle grew up in the area, making new friends everywhere she went. Her kind heart and caring soul made others come to her for comfort and support. She had many friends and family she loved in her lifetime, but her life really started when she became a mother.

At 21, she married her former husband, Junior Bennett, of Hinton, and they went on to have three beautiful children together. Her children, Terra, Trey, and Tucker were her whole world, and she loved every second of raising them through childhood and supporting them as adults. They were her first passion, but as they grew up, she found another that she became incredibly skilled at. Rainelle worked as an auction manager for many years, under more than 50 different auctioneers, and fell in love with every part of her job. She had an eye for antiques, and her clients loved how much she did to ensure they were happy when they parted ways. Employed most recently at Farmer Auctions out of Salem Virginia, her boss and fellow coworkers appreciated her knowledge and dedication to her job. She was loved by many and was a friend to all. She will be greatly missed by those of us who had the blessing of knowing her.

Rainelle was preceded in death by her middle son, Trey Bennett, of Nimitz, and her mother, Catherine Keaton, of Hinton. She is survived by a stepfather, David Keaton, of Hinton, one daughter, Terra Bennett and fiance Justin Turner of Lerona, one son, Tucker Bennett and wife Haley of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. One sister, Linda Meadows and boyfriend Joseph Blasingame, of Powley's Creek. One brother, Robert Meador, of Hinton. Two grandson's, Braxton and Corbin Lambert and many more that loved and cherished her including several aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

Services to celebrate Rainelle's life will be held 7:00 pm, Wednesday, August 30, 2023, at Pivont Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Randy S. Burdette officiating. Family will receive friends from 5;00 pm until 7:00 pm on Wednesday at the funeral home.
