Renee walked her beloved dogs by my home nearly every day, and I thoroughly enjoyed her loving energy.  I will miss her.  --Debbie

Jerry Marver and family, my sister, Clare, and I are so sorry to hear that Betty has passed away.  She was one of the nicest people at Harrison.  We both will miss her.  Blessings to your family.

The warmth and humor of Betty Renee's family's memories illuminated the beauty of her life.  The word 'alive'  always comes to mind when thinking of the life she chose to lead and the values she personified.  She brought so much to every pursuit and person she valued as part of her world.

I know her love will be with you always as a joy and support for the beautiful lives you are living.

Renee was a wonderful person, whose light will be greatly missed by many, including by me. She helped so many people with her work at Grace Hill, including Ready Readers, which she so ardently supported from the beginning.  Because of her, Ready Readers volunteers were able to share their love of reading every week with every child then attending a Grace Hill pre-K classroom, and the same volunteers were able to give each of those children up to 7 personalized,  high quality new books every year.   She has continued to support Ready Readers personally through the years, and I know those currently leading the organization have also gained a great deal from her ongoing interest and involvement.  May her memory always be a blessing.  Pat Simons



Rene contributed so much to the lives of families and children. She was such a smart and hard worker and so devoted to helping over fifty years. Most recently her efforts with child care centers  in the Hyde Park neighborhood were  amazing. She suffered a series of medical issues as she rallied support for this effort. As soon as she was out of the hospital and back on her feet she took charge of restarting that effort and stayed with it until days before her death.  She loved Northwest Coffee on Laclede and was always there with her beloved dogs.  I am meeting a friend there tomorrow and will miss seeing Rene  there.

I have only known Renee for a short time as we worked on Child Care issues in Hyde Park.  I remember her for her dedication and ability to make everyone feel welcome.  May she now rest in peace.
