She was born Nov. 29, 1953, in Centralia, daughter of Fred E. and Donna (Bundy) Mainer.

She was preceded in death by her mother.

Renee attended Southeast Missouri State University, where she graduated with a bachelor of science degree in nursing. She worked 20-plus years at Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau, starting out as a surgical technician.

She later moved on to be a surgical registered nurse, after graduating college, and then became a member of the heart team.

Renee finished her last years at the hospital as a nurse case manager. She then decided to take the opportunity to be a traveling nurse case manager and ended up choosing a permanent position at Seton Medical Center in Daly City, California.

She enjoyed the outdoors and river tubing, and she was a hunter and collector of antiques and Indian artifacts.

Renee was an avid reader and enjoyed cross stitching. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and friends.
