Renée Grelle Obituary
Born in Burlington, Vt. March 24, 1951, Renée was the cherished daughter of the late William and Lorraine (Duquette) Lozon. She retired from the State of Connecticut after 37 years of serving as a mental health associate, with the majority of her service taking place at the Norwich State Hospital. She was tirelessly dedicated to her patients and thrived at helping them cope with a variety of mental health issues. Her friendliness and warmth made her a beloved personality, and after her retirement, it wasn't rare for her to receive cards and letters from patients she treated 20 or 30 years prior.
In addition to her patients, Renée selflessly devoted herself to her family-she was the epitome of the caring and compassionate matriarch, and gave her love and appreciation to everyone she knew. She committed herself to being a kindhearted and nurturing soul for her husband and children, but the greatest joy she experienced was being a grandmother and great-grandmother, and watching her beautiful family grow larger.
The contributions Renée made to the lives of those who were fortunate to have known her are immeasurable-she will always be fondly remembered and eternally loved and cherished.
In addition to her husband and love of her life, Michael Grelle, Renée is survived by her children, Tarra Martinez of Miami, Fla., Michael J. Grelle Jr., of Salisbury, Mass., Eric M. Grelle of Newburyport, Mass., and Dana L. Ladyga of Oakdale; grandchildren, Kylie Grelle, AvaRenee Rodriguez, Cameron Grelle, Vincenzo Michael Rodriguez, Benjamin Grelle, Lincoln Ladyga; and one great-granddaughter, Elliana Carrier. She is also survived by her siblings, Rhonda Mitchell, Lizbeth Isaacson, Keith Lozon, and Kim Winkelman. In addition to her parents, Renée was predeceased by her sister, Gayle Lame.
Renée's family will receive friends from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, 2020, at the Woyasz & Son Funeral Service, 11 Jerome Road, Uncasville. Private burial arrangements will be made at the Connecticut Veterans Cemetery in Middletown. Renée was recently diagnosed with ALS; she fought the disease courageously and never let this illness affect her love and affection for all her family and friends. If you would like to make a memorial donation in her honor and help others afflicted with ALS, you may send them to the ALS Association-Connecticut Chapter, 4 Oxford Road, Milford, CT 06460.

What a light this woman was in this sometimes dark world. It gives me great comfort knowing that some of that same light continues on through her daughters and grandchildren. She may be gone though she will never be forgotten. No words help at times like these. However, I can tell you that with tine the journey becomes more bearable.
Much love always.

Renee ,
You were the kindest , sweetest person . I knew this from the moment we first met and had spoken in Aruba . You always were interested in my life and if I had something on my mind and wanted someone to listen , you would let me know that you always would . When my mom passed away , you had told me that if I had ever needed any motherly advice , that I could always ask you . This meant a lot ❤ So beautiful inside and outside . I will always remember you my sweet friend . Your daughters were lucky to have such an incredible mom . RIP beautiful Renee .
Love ,

Dana and Family.
I am so shocked as I saw this today about your mom. I am just speechless. Your mom was such a sweet sweet soul. I always enjoyed the talks she and I had at the dance studio while Ava and Trudy were in their classes. Her vibrant smile always lit up the room. I admired her for the love she had for you and your kids. Her eyes always showed how proud she was of you when she would mention you. She told me more than once how she would do all she could to help you with the kids even when it made her tired. She was definitely a Wonder Woman and It showed how very much she loved you and the kids. I'm sure God welcomed her with open arms and will promote her to an Angel immediately. May she rest peacefully and pain free now in God's Heaven. I know my life has been blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing her.
