Marion Renalds

RENALDS, Marion Clarke, 79, of Richmond, passed away peacefully in her home Friday, December 18, 2009. She is survived by her son, Marsden and his wife, Ginny, and their two children, Lara Staley and David Smith; her daughter, Virginia Edmunds and her husband, Holt; two grandchildren, Easley and Elizabeth; and her niece, Patricia Claytor and her husband, John, and their children, Jack and Grace. Marion was a caregiver to many children over several decades. These lives she influenced reflect her devotion to nurturing and her generous spirit. Her utmost passion was gardening. Strangers often stopped to admire and photograph her exquisite flowers. A memorial service will be held for family and friends at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we suggest a donation made in her honor to the Rosedale Civic Association Beautification Project, 1901 W. Laburnum Ave., Richmond, Va. 23227.
