She was a 1954 graduate of Perry Joint High School. She worked at Carson Long Institute after graduation, and worked for the Perry County Soil and Conservation Service for 27 years.

She and John enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and Canada through the years. She enjoyed luncheons with friends, family parties for holidays and any occasion delighted her and created many wonderful  memories. Rena's greatest joy was spending time with her family.

Rena's love of butterflies inspired her to plant Butterfly Bushes around her property. She was given a Pomeranian puppy named "Lucy" when she was a child, and continued to have Pomeranian Dogs throughout her life. 

She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, New Bloomfield, The Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America, the Merry Widows of Zembo Shriners, Perry Chapter No. 459, New Bloomfield, and Mount Eustis Chapter No 1, Littleton, NH (a 68 year member) of The Order of Eastern Star.

May her memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth her legacy of love and compassion in all that we do. May her light forever shine brightly in our hearts.

Rena requested a small private service. Interment was in the Bloomfield Cemetery.
