I enjoyed sharing a love of reading with Rena as a member of a book club for many years. Her comments were always thoughtful and intelligent. I visited her home in Pullman and was always impressed by her dedication to the area. My condolences to her family. She spoke of you often with pride.

What a beautiful picture of Renee! It captures her outgoing spirit and sense of fun. Renee and I joined book club around the same time and played dominoes together on a regular basis. I always appreciated her comments and insights. She often spoke with great affection about her family. I will miss her.

I was so sorry to hear of Renee's passing. I worked for Sherwin Williams but not at the Credit Union. There was a group of us that hung out together for many years. We had such a good group and so much fun over the years. She and her family are in my prayers. She will definitely be missed by many. May she rest in peace.

I met Rena years ago when she started coming to our book club and the first reaction to her was how pleasant and well versed she presented herself. Her perspective and comments concerning the books was inspirational . The best was her stories on her frequent travels and experiences of those travels. She was a true storyteller and captured the attention of all. Rena you will be missed but you spirit and laughter will be in our hearts forever. It was my pleasure knowing you and being with you at book club . Rest in peace my dear friend.❤️
