Rennia was always a Care provider and would help everyone out with anything that she could do for them. Rennia enjoyed all kinds of music, watching movies (especially ones with George Clooney in them) and hanging out with family and friends. Rennia always had big cookouts especially with her Brother Eddie, “Master Cook and Griller”, before he passed.  Rennia loved to dance, listen to bands, fish, picnic, swim and do anything involving Family and Friends. Rennia always had a beautiful smile on her face and she was full of life, laughter and fun. One of her favorite sayings was, “Christmas is not just in December, everyday is like Christmas because it’s a Celebration and a Gift from God”!  Our Family Home that our Parents bought on Patterson Street when they moved from Tennessee to Lockland, Ohio will never be the same without Rennia there, just like it wasn’t the same when we lost our Parents, however it’s our old Homeplace that we cherish. Rennia planted an Apple tree out front and she loved taking care of it and watching it grow to bear fruit  so if you ever pass by, please take an Apple and think of her. She never wanted anyone to mourn her passing but to Celebrate her Life and God has her now, Resting in Peace. God Bless her and she’ll be truly missed by all who knew her.
