Reneé lived in the Rice area most of her life and earned her master’s degree in education from St. Cloud State University. She was a teacher for St. Stephen/ Sartell Schools, retiring in 1990. Reneé’s faith was very important to her. She was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church where she was involved with the choir, Christian Mothers, Religious Education, Eucharistic Ministry, and working as a greeter. Reneé was also a Girl Scout Leader and director at Camp Courage Day Camp. She enjoyed golfing, traveling, playing cards, cooking, and dancing. Reneé was an avid reader and loved raising orchids and other flowers. She was also a huge Minnesota Twins and Vikings fan. Reneé will always be remembered for her kindness, her ability to show unconditional love, and her talent for cooking, canning, and baking.

Reneé is survived by her son and daughters, André (Susan) Sebasky of Pillager, Eilleene (Mark) Stawarski of St. Cloud, Marcia (Dan) Smieja of Rice, and Dr. Danielle (Dr. James Quenan) Busse-Quenan of Amery, WI; family friend, Camille Cady of St. Cloud; 24 grandchildren; and 34 great-grandchildren.
