John Overington Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 27, 2026 we had to say goodbye to John Overington of Martinsburg, West Virginia. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John Overington to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy John leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though John may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Robert Bruce Overington and Helen Besley Overington; and his sisters, Jane Wright (Robert Wright), Betty Knupp (John), Peggy Weller and Mary Rotz (Robert). He was also cherished by many nephews and nieces.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Berkeley County Humane Society, 554 Charlestown Road, Martinsburg, WV 25405, or to the Overington Scholarship Fund for private tuition or homeschool expenses.

rick modesitt wrote a sympathy message

“I had the honor to meet John when I was first elected to the House of Delegates. I shared an office area with John and several other Republican Delegates. John was the very first Delegate when I walked in to the offices day 1. He popped out of a side door...introduced himself and then asked if I would look at some legislation he was proposing. We became friends. As a new legislator, he was always willing to help me with the process...the rules.....etc. A great man! Much respect. RIP”
