Rena was a devoted parishioner of Saint Joseph's parish of Medford. When she was not participating in church activities, she also loved to knit and crochet, she always made sure that everyone had their share of hats, mittens and blankets, even Max the family dog was included. She loved to travel with her husband David, on trips up north to enjoy the fall foliage or down south to Florida where she enjoyed sitting in the sun. Rena enjoyed playing and connecting with her family and friends on the online game Bejeweled.
