Sorry for your loss, Rennie was a very sweet lady. I remember when she worked at Skooters , when I came in she would hold my babies. I will miss her, til I see her again. R.I.P. Rennie love you and miss you
There are no amount of words to express what Mamaw Rennie ment to me! The fun times we spent together wether it be on motorcycles in the kitchen or by the pond, there were always a lesson to be learned. God has truely gained back an angel he put on earth to guide us that needed her! My life was so much better because she was in it. Thank you to the Lukey family for sharing your mom with me and my family. Thoughts and prayers to all!!

Rennie was my bus driver and such a sweet lady! I will sadly miss her! She worked hard and she could handle those wild turns in the country like no other . I had met with her again quite a few times and would let her know I lived on Vine street and how she would meet at south side and how she always was a good bus driver and tried to make us kids out to be the best we could be. She dealt w a lot and I met her again when she was doing food for faurecia. I will miss her . My condolences to her family. Rennie May u drive ur bus w us crazy kids and remember u touched many of our lives.
Garrett and I send our deepest sympathy for your loss. Rennie was Garrett’s bus driver for years and I always knew he was safe in her care. We both thought the world of her and her kind and gentle ways. I knew Rennie for years-she used to be my 4-H leader as well. The sun shines a little less bright on the world without Rennie in it.
thank you . and yes, the sun does shine alittle less bright . actually a lot less bright .

I am so sorry for your loss. Knew Rennie and John from early years in ABATE. She was always smiling, helpful, and friendly. Talking to them was easy. Little did i know that they were parents of a school friend of mine. Mac and Alice. Alice probably does remember me, but Mac and I were friends for a short time and I never forgot him. He was funny. My condolences to all. She will be smiling(the twinkling of the stars at night) down at us. She will be missed
thank you❤️
i love you mom . and i miss you . everyday . ❤️
