Renee is survived by her 4 children, numerous nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

She was a member of Immaculate Conception Parish, Christian Mothers, and the Order of Franciscan Seculars. She engaged in charitable work with Catholic Charities and Washington City Mission.

Renee was an advocate of respect for life from conception to natural death and organized groups to participate in the National Prayer Vigil for Life and the March for Life continually since the 1970's.

Renee loves God, loves to be in a good conversation, and loves to dance.

A devout Roman Catholic, her rosary beads were always wrapped around her wrist, reminding her of her daily conversations and personal relationship with God.
