Rin Trudel Obituary

Rin (Rena) Elisabeth Trudel, 14, of Manchester, NH, passed away unexpectedly in their home, October 13, 2023.

Rin was the beloved child of Lauren and Michael Wenners and Brett Trudel.

Rin was a 9th grade student at Central High School and was pursing honors courses and the arts. Rin had a passion for all things art. Whether it was performing on the stage or baking cakes and desserts, they were ready to take on the challenge. They were very proud of the birthday cakes that they baked and decorated for their Mom and friends this past year. Rin's most recent piece of artwork was a Coraline doll, that they constructed to look like themself. Rin enjoyed going on cruises and Disney trips with their family as well as annual camping trips with their cousins and friends. Rin loved to get dressed up and have tea parties with their Mom. They adored their late cat "Hay Hay" (Harold). Rin will always be remembered for their full force hugs and various forms of artwork, whether it was on paper or the screen.

Family members include their grandparents: Mark and Vicki Dean of Raymond, NH and Joanne and (late) David Trudel of Manchester, NH. Uncles: Craig, Keith and Scott Trudel, Christian Blais and Aunts Samantha Dean and Christine Blais. They adored their two cousins Avery Dean and Austin McCarthy who were like siblings to them, as well as Riley and Joshua Blais, their extended family and friends.

Services: Calling hours are Thursday, October 19, 2023, from 3 to 6 PM at Connor-Healy Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 537 Union Street, Manchester, NH.

I recall Rin as an infant and a young child, with her mom, on the first floor of the James or Central gatherings. I recall the beauty of Rin and how her mother glowed with pride. I was excited to see her in my classroom and looked forward to the mental journey we would embark on together. It is with tremendous sadness of heart that I write this and send prayers of love and support to both Lauren and Mike.

No words I can say can help you heal. Lauren we haven’t talked since college, but I got to see all the amazing stories and pictures you shared of Rin. I never met them, but it was obvious from pictures and stories that they were loved, supported, and the kind of soul that just brought joy to any room they entered. I am so sorry for your loss, and our thought and prayers are with your family.

Loveliest to remember were the beautiful days she'd spend with Brett, her beloved father. Rin/Rena was a natural in the kitchen, baking with her Memere Joanne, and learning chef's tricks making meals with her Dad. She treasured wild nature, where she and her would Dad spend time fishing, hiking, and appreciating the natural splendor. She was able to create the most unexpectedly unique art, and had such a presence, on and off stage. She was the perfect pesky little sister for her loving uncles. The list goes on. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
The world was a sweeter place for having Rin/Rena in it. She left her heartfelt mark on so very many lives, forevermore.
