Renee was a woman of deep prayer with a daily devotion to the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. She went to Adoration every Wednesday & Friday and was a daily communicant until her health prevented regular attendance.

She was involved in many ministries in the church including Eucharistic Minister at Mass and to the Sick & Homebound, a Catholic Daughter, Altar Committee, involved in Meals Ministry and cooked for Fr. Kevin Thissen for 9 years and took care of him during his illness & till his death in 2005. She cooked for the Basilian Fathers at Christmas.

Renee was compassionate, generous, loving woman with a big heart and lots of friends. She was always ready to help out whenever there was a need.

The greatest miracle of Renee’s life was when her husband Dean joined the church and became Catholic. She was deeply devoted to her family & grandchildren. Renee lived her life with prayer, deep faith and an attitude of thanksgiving in all things. Her favorite saying was “God’s in Charge”.
