Mrs. Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Renner's Obituary
Elizabeth (Betty) Renner peacefully went to heaven to be with her beloved Jesus on March 9, 2013 in St Petersburg, FL. She was 80 years old. She was surrounded by the love and peace of her Savior and her devoted family. Betty was a passionate educator and a great advocate for children. She served as principal and a Kindergarten teacher for Good Shepherd School in North Fort Myers, FL for 26 years. Each child blossomed under her teaching. Betty made it her mission to help those around her become better - to learn and to grow both academically and in their spiritual walk with Jesus. She came up with creative and loving ways to teach, parent or lead by example in the lives of her children, co-workers, students and fellow church members. Betty is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Rev. Martin Renner; her much-loved children: daughter Anne Schickowski and husband, James; daughter Kris Minneti and husband, Jeff; son Scott and wife, Analia. Betty's grandchildren were the joy of her life. They are: Josh Minneti and his wife, Samantha; Jordan Minneti, Christian and Cameron Renner; and an abundance of loving friends and colleagues. Betty's family would especially like to thank Betty's caregiver, Kristin, all of the staff in "A" wing, the rehab department, Suncoast Hospice and everyone that made her stay at Bon Secours, St Pete more comfortable. A celebration of life for Betty will be held on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 11 am at BridgePoint Church, 5901 9th Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33710 In lieu of flowers, Betty's family requests donations be made to either Bon Secours Foundation: contact Stephanie Slankard (727-568-1016) or Suncoast Hospice Foundation: 5771 Roosevelt Blvd. Clearwater, FL 33760
