One of Renee’s favorite sayings was, “You can win a lot of bears with honey.” These words reflected a simple but meaningful lesson about kindness and how we treat others.

Their connection was something truly special, and the memories they shared will always bet reassured. Renee also cherished her close friendships with Bobbi Brown, Toby Ogle, and Heather Allen. She shared a close bond with her cousins, Amber Lentz and Melvin Lentz. These relationships were meaningful parts of her life, and the memories they created together will continue to be held close to their hearts.

Her independent spirit, caring nature, dedication to her work, and favorite words of wisdom will remain lasting reminders of the woman she was. As her loved ones remember Renee, may they find comfort in her faith, cherish the time they shared with her, and hold close the promise of a heavenly reunion. Until that day, she will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
