Join us in celebrating Rena—please share your stories and photos, and help spread the word about this page!
Passed from this life December 2, 2021. She is preceded in death by Wayne, her beloved husband of 65 years, and her siblings. She is survived by treasured sons Kurt and Neal (Linda), and cherished granddaughter Nicolette. Rena is further survived by sister-in-law, Lillian, special nieces Arlene and Sophia as well as many other dear nieces and nephews, old friends, valued neighbors and parish family.
The youngest child of Italian immigrants, Rena began her rich life in Endicott, NY, and spent her final months with loving family, assisted by special caregivers, in her Milwaukee home of 64 years.
Visitation will be at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 3970 N. 92nd St., Milwaukee, 53222, on Friday, 12/10/21, 10-11am, with the Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 11am. The safety of our communities was important to Rena so wearing a mask will be appreciated. It was also important to Rena that any gifts be made to St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, her parish home for over 60 years. Private burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery, Milwaukee.
