George Rainha passed away suddenly on July 17, 2022, at the age of 70. George was born on December 29, 1951, in Hudson, Mass. to George Sr. and Rita Rainha. After serving in the Air Force, George moved to Washington and resided in Olympia, Puyallup, and Leavenworth for over 30 years and finally Sequim. George retired from the carpenter’s union and was married to the love of his life, Carol Rainha for over 40 years.

He is preceded in death by his wife Carol, his parents George and Rita, his brother Paul and stepchildren Rick and Kristi Rutledge.

He is survived by his three stepchildren Lisa, Gary and Mike, his girlfriend Jeanne, his 11 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.

George lived a great life doing exactly what he wanted to do. He loved hunting, fishing and hiking. He also loved his animals, singing, playing his guitar and being with his friends and family. George especially loved being on the water in his boat. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

There will be a celebration of life on August 13 at 1 p.m. at Rutledge Corn Maze in Olympia. It is a potluck so please feel free to bring a dish. We look forward to celebrating George’s life and sharing memories that we have with him.
