Her family was of the utmost importance to her and cherished the time she spent with them. Also very dear to her over the years were the many students she had the privilege of teaching. She graduated from Mt. Zion High School near Bucyrus and while there, proudly did her part during WWII by working at GE in the evenings.

Born October 12, 1928 in Bucyrus, she was the daughter of the late Fredrick and Callie (Jacobs) Fritz. On June 4, 1950 at the Martin Luther Church outside Bucyrus, she married her husband of 56 years, Charles E. Renner and he preceded her in death on September 5, 2006. In addition to her husband and parents, she was also preceded in death by a brother, George Fritz; her brothers-in law, Victor (Margaret) Renner and Arno Renner and sisters-in-law, Alvena Renner and Erna (Donald, Sr.) Bailey.
