Renee Holmes Obituary

Renee Alicia Holmes, age 51, a longtime resident of Juneau passed away at her home on March 15, 2024. Renee was born on July 12, 1972 in Fresno, California and moved to Kenai, Alaska when she was seven, eventually moving to Juneau after high school. Renee enjoyed a lengthy career as a medical transcriptionist but her favorite times were spent on the family boat, fishing for halibut. When she was not fishing, she spent her free time participating in book club, cross-stitching patterns for her many close friends and working on puzzles with her granddaughter. She also loved watching Korean K-dramas, science fiction, and singing along to movie musicals.

Renee is survived by her husband of 30 years, Curtis Holmes and their two children, Rhyan Nydam and Nathan Holmes, as well as her granddaughter Kayleigh Nydam. Also survived by her sister Jennifer and her family, Sean and Philip Huntley. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Josie Romero and Gilbert Romero, her "mom and dad."
Renee had requested to be cremated and not to have a funeral service. A celebration of life will occur at a later date in 2024
