Renee Japhet Obituary
Des Moines - Renee L. Japhet, 54, passed away on February 12, 2018. She was being cared for at Methodist Hospital.
"Sis", as we all called her, was born November 13, 1962, to Clarence and Ramona Rowe in Des Moines, Iowa. She was an Eastsider and graduated from East High School. Renee's wish was no memorial service and private family burial at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery.
She is survived by her loving son Shane Japhet, his partner Dena Dellaca and grandson, Jadon; mother and step-father Ramona and Charles Wood; and brother Ronald Rowe of Fort Dodge. Renee was preceded in death by her father Clarence Rowe and big brother Ralph Rowe.
We loved her and will miss her. With God's help, we'll all be together again.

I wish to express my condolences to the family during this time of distress. The pain and grief can be destressful at times. However, you can find comfort and strength from the Inspired Word at Psalm 147:3.

I want to share the a day I met Renae.I was sitting on Tim's bed with the door closed waiting for him to come home. Shane had let me in. Next thing I know I hear a voice from under the door who are you what are you doing in there???Next time I was there again sitting waiting for Tim, she jumped out of the closet yelling what are you doing?? I was the most funniest person I ever met....We laughed and cried everytime we was together....she was one of my best friends. I know for sure we will meet in heaven. The Lord blessed me and allowed me to share is word with both Tim and Nae. We shared how we had grown up with the word but how our children had not had the chance too for one reason or another I assured them with vs.that we all could go to heaven .. .ATFER TEARS OF JOY TIM SAID TO RENAE I WANT SHANE TO GO TO HEAVEN HOW CAN WE TALK TO HIM.. RENAE LAUGHS SAYS "HER". I PROMISED YOU I WOULD PRAY WITH SHANE AND I WILL KEEP THAT PROMISE WE ALL WILL BE IN HEAVEN TOGETHER .THANK YOU JESUS FOR MY FRIEND MY SISTER IN YOU ....
