Renee had a passion for gambling at any casino she could get to. She was a true bargain shopper at all times. At times she was told by family and friends that she could no longer shop anywhere that had red or brown shirts due to having way to many she never had the pleasure of wearing. She was always heard jingling before you saw her with all the bangles and bracelets she sported at all times. On occasions she would say she could not leave home with out her jewelry, eyelashes, and red nail polish.

Renee was a true blessing to many and will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure to be a part of her life and her a part of yours. Though she is gone in body she is in each and every one of our hearts and souls.
