Born on March 12th, 1952 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, Oregon to Taylor Carl Dover and Rita Katherine Hersey. Even though it was a rainy day upon her birth, Renee grew to be a ray of sunshine, an amazing young woman and a awesome big sister to her siblings.

Renee was part of the graduating class of 1970 from Parkrose High School, located in Portland, Oregon. Family and friends were the most important aspect of her life and one of the greatest moments of her life was the day she became a grandmother.
