Renea leaves behind her husband Denny, his children Shelley and Matt, her father-in-law Chick, her sisters Vicky, Deanna, and Kim and her brother Kirk. She was a doting grandmother to Alex, Oscar, Anna, Gretchen, Will and great-granddaughter Elle. She cherished her loving and supportive group of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and countless friends.
And lest her wrath be felt, her cuddle buddy Grizzy was always held close to her heart during those afternoon naps.
Preceded in death by her parents Eileen and Gale Ochs, her brother Jeff, David Haskamp and mother-in-law Pat Haskamp.
She was Secretary-Treasurer of Ideas & Ad Ventures for 27 years and was proud to work in the printing industry.
As evidenced by the photo, her favorite day of the year was Halloween, the day before her birthday. She would pull out all the stops to make sure everyone she met would have a smile on their face.
In her 23-year fight with metastatic breast cancer she tried to help her fellow survivors with everyday struggles. One of her last texts read “I am determined to beat this illness and teach others about my experience and how important it is to stay positive and strong to overcome the odds.”
A Celebration of Renea’s Life will be held in the spring–when nature’s circle of life begins anew–on April 5 from 3:00-5:00 pm at the Green Twp. Senior Center. Casual attire please.
