Renee was a wonderful homemaker for Calvin, her children, grandchildren and extended family.  Together they celebrated holidays and birthdays with love, laughter and good food.  Renee was an excellent cook – her apple pie was famous! Christmas Spirit was alive every Christmas Eve with the traditional get together at their home. For many summers, family vacations were spent at Bear Lake.  She enjoyed traveling with Calvin and visited Mexico, Hawaii, Scotland, Canada and many states.  She served on the Ogden Pioneer Days Committee for several years judging the parade floats.
