Rennon Wilkie Obituary

Mystic - Rennon George Wilkie, age 74, of Mystic, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. Rennon was born in the Jamaica Hospital in Queens, N.Y., Nov. 28, 1950.

He grew up in Richmond Hill, N.Y., and was married to his beloved wife Nancy for 46 years. In 1987, their daughter Stephanie was born. He spent his 30-year career working for Consolidated Edison of New York. Despite his gruff exterior, Rennon was a kind and compassionate person. He and Nancy rescued several dogs over the course of their marriage. Mystic has always been a special place for his family and they came here often either by sailboat or car. Upon Rennon's retirement in 2006, he and Nancy moved to Mystic permanently where he continued to pursue his passion for sailing.

He is survived by his loving wife Nancy; his daughter Stephanie Silva; and his son-in-law Kenneth Silva; his sister Diana Blundell; nephew Stuart; niece Bethany; and great-niece Kathryn. Rennon is predeceased by his parents, George Rennon Wilkie, and his mother, Mary Frances (nee Carver) Wilkie.

A Celebration of Life will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 30, at the Dinoto Funeral Home, 17 Pearl Street, Mystic. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bideawee, www.bideawee.org or Tunnel2Towers, www.t2t.org.
