Renée

Young

Renée Hill Young, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and friend, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2023, in Rogers, Arkansas, at the age of 67. Born on September 5, 1956, in the charming town of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, Renée carried the warmth and kindness of her small-town upbringing throughout her life.

Renée was the cherished matriarch of her family, which includes her son, Jack Young and his wife, Kimberly from Bella Vista, Arkansas and her son, Jerrod Young from Texas. She was the best and most fun Nana to Victoria, Cameron, Jack Jr, Caleb, Douglas, Madelyn, and Noah as well as her great grandchildren, niece, and nephews. Renee was preceded in death by her loving parents and dear grandson, Conner Young. Her family will remember her as a beacon of love and laughter, always ready with a comforting word or a silly story. "I Love You More", she would always say.

Professionally, Renée spent many fulfilling years working at the Rich Mountain Community College in Mena, Arkansas in the GED department. Her students cherished her for her genuine love and compassion for them, and she loved to watch them succeed. Renee's colleagues admired her for her tireless work ethic and her unwavering dedication to the college community.

Renée's interests were as varied as they were fulfilling. She had a green thumb and found immense joy in gardening and nature, especially flowers and hummingbirds. Renée also had an exceptional talent for art. She loved to draw and paint.

Renée touched many lives with her radiant spirit. Her passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but her memory will forever be a source of comfort and inspiration for all those who were blessed enough to know her. As we mourn the loss of Renée, we also celebrate her life, her achievements, and the countless ways she made the world a better place. We long to see her again in the New Jerusalem.

"Precious in the eyes of YHWH is the death of His saints."      Psalm 116:15
