Renee Teresa Smallwood, a beloved mother, cherished friend, and radiant soul, passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at the age of 68, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Renee had a deep love for stories of all kinds; she loved watching The Voice, Star, Empire, and timeless classics such as the film Imitation of Life. But Renee’s talents extended far beyond her love for the screen; she was well known as a master at the grill. With her incredible barbequing skills, she could bring people together with the aroma of her cooking and the joy that followed every bite.
She will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
A memorial service for Renee will be held Monday, August 18, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Draper Mortuary, 811 North Mountain Ave, Ontario, CA 91762, followed by a reception from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
