Rene;e Benn Obituary

Renée Benn

Naples, FL

Renée Benn died on January 20, 2018 in Naples, Florida after a short illness.

She was born in Montreal, Canada in 1935, the daughter of René Brunay Perrault, whose family were among "Les Canadiens" who fought with Montcalm in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, and Louise Jerrems Muhlenberg Mathews, who was a direct descendant of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, who came to Pennsylvania in 1742, was instrumental in the founding of the Lutheran Church in America and whose family played active roles in religion, politics and the army in early America.

She graduated from King's Hall, Compton in 1952 and McGill University in 1957. She married Frederick William Benn in 1958, with whom she shared 60 years of fun and adventure, golfing and skiing.

She is survived by her husband, three children, Graeme Mathews Benn (Rebecca), Vancouver B.C., Brian Macarthur Benn (Jan), Burlingame, Calif., Lucinda Chapman Benn (Paul), San Francisco, Calif., and five grandchildren, Katie, Madie, Melissa, Matt and Jamie.

Her family appreciates the compassionate care provided by Avow Hospice.
