Renee Ailene Andre was born August 28, 1948, in Portland, Oregon to Eugene R Andre and Margaret M Woolf Andre. She died March 29, 2024, at Ray Hickey Hospice House after a short but brave battle with cancer.

Renee spent several years in the banking industry, including international banking. She was based in England for a time where she provided training for international employees and also traveled to Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore to implement training. She made many friends from these countries that she still communicated with. She continued her love of travel from those years and was always ready for a new trip.

Renee loved animals of all kinds and gardening. After retirement she moved to Amboy, WA where she was able to enjoy both. She had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks and the occasional deer in her backyard to keep her busy.

Mostly Renee loved her family, she was everyone's favorite "Aunt Renee". She is survived by her sister Mary Kruse, brother Jerry Andre (Karen) and brother Larry Andre (Shameka). She has 17 nieces and nephews and 33 great nieces and nephews. She always remembered birthdays and holidays with just a little memento from "Aunt Renee".

Our thanks to all the staff at Ray Hickey Hospice House for your kindness and comforting care. It was a great help to Renee and her family.

Commitment services will be 1:00pm April 26, 2024, at St Mary's Cemetery in Ridgefield, WA.
