Renée Bernadine Wahl passed away peacefully on February 19, 2022 at the tender age of 8 ½ months while in the loving arms of her parents, Emily Dawson Wahl and Chance Anthony Wahl.

Also survived by numerous cousins, great aunts, great uncles and other relatives.
Renée was a sweet angel who inspired so many to deepen their virtues of faith, hope and love. She fought and persevered through every medical obstacle presented and achieved milestones that seemed impossible. Her legacy will be marked by the knowledge gained by those medical professionals which will be used to save the lives of infants and small children.
