I have many fond memories of Renee as a child. When we visited Uncle Don & Aunt Donna, there were hours of exploring in the fields and playing outside. I am praying for the family and reejoicing in the knowledge that her and our saviour Jesus, are preparing a room for all believers. Bille

Renee was such a huge part of my life for all the years we worked side by side at West Park School. I will 'treasure' my memories of your wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, grandmother and friend.
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
My heart is hurting for all of her family and friends.

I went to school with Renee since my family moved here in 1969. She was very kind and well thought of. After high school we lost track, and of course raising families tend to get in the way. When I started working for the school district I was surprised to find Renee there as well. It was so good to see her again. Renee will be missed by the kids, the parents, teachers and other district staff for her loving and giving attitude. Always had a welcoming smile on her face. She will be missed. My sincerest condolences to her family.

It was an honor and a privilege to have cared for Renee as well as to come to know her beautiful family. She was an inspiration to me as an oncology nurse and a cancer survivor. She tried, she tried so hard. Somehow, through her suffering, may you all find the purpose that is meant to be. Barry, it was a pleasure to meet you and your sons.. Darcy, you are a model sister with a husband that is a rare find. Aaron, your mother spoke of you often. She loved you and your brothers more than you will ever know. Thank you for allowing me to share in this very difficult journey. Renee will not be forgotten.

I had the Ransom boys in school at Rocky. They were such great boys and after I met Renee I understood why. She was a wonderful, loving Mother, and was so devoted to her boys.
She will be missed in this community by many. Our sincere condolences to her beautiful family.

I think I have known you my entire life Renee. I can not remember a time when you weren't a part of the Edwards family. Your laugh and subtle humor was I infectious. You always brought a smile to everyone around you. Even during your courageous fight, you found a way to uplift us and teach us all of eternal mercies. Although we know your spirit leaves on and you are part of a wonderful week, we are sad to be left behind. The world is a little less bright without you in it. We love you..... Until we meet again. ❤️
