Bernice Ren Obituary
Our loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on March 3, 2011. She was born on March 13, 1924 in Erskine, Minnesota to Andrew and Olga Lang. She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband, Harvey. She is survived by her three daughters, of whom she was very proud and loved unconditionally, Rebecca (David) Wild, Stephanie (Alan) Agurkis and Dorothy Ren (Greg St. Clair); 8 dearly loved grandchildren, Shawn Ostrander, Erin Holt, Laura Steele, Eric Agurkis, Amy Johnson, Nathan Ostrander, Douglas Agurkis and Sarah Ostrander; and 15 equally loved great-grandchildren. Bernice was known for her deep faith, her beautiful spirit and her love for all who came in contact with her. Remembrances may be made in Bernice's name to the American Heart Association and Make-A-Wish Foundation. Graveside services to celebrate Bernice's life will be held on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Mills & Mills Memorial park in Tumwater.
