In Loving Memory of Raelene Belk Ornellas

July 5, 1965 – July 17, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Raelene Belk Ornellas, who left this world on July 17, 2025, at 4:20 a.m., surrounded by love. Born on July 5, 1965, Raelene was a fierce, compassionate, and vibrant soul who touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Raelene was a woman of incredible strength and resilience—someone who never gave up without a fight. Her life was a testament to courage, kindness, and unconditional love. She had a generous heart and would give you the shirt off her back, even if it was all she had.

She cherished her beloved sister, Heidi Carrillo, and her lifelong friend Robin Fagundes, who was like a sister to her. She also leaves behind her four children: Christopher, Justin, Stevie, and Daylaray. Her love for them was unwavering and deep.

Raelene had a deep love for writing and reading, often losing herself in stories or creating her own. Her passion for decorating brought warmth and beauty into every space she touched. She also adored her dogs—Chingoso, Angel, Tank, and Charlie—who were never far from her side and held a special place in her heart.

She was the kind of person who lit up a room with her laughter, made others feel safe with her presence, and left a mark that will never fade. She found joy in life's simple pleasures and never stopped finding ways to have fun, both with others and on her own.

Raelene's passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but her legacy of love, strength, and selflessness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Rest easy, Raelene. Your love remains
