LAVERNE LINDA KAREN RENNEBERG (RUDNISKI)
August 3, 1952 – January 27, 2019
Laverne Linda Karen Renneberg (nee Rudniski) was born on August 3, 1952 in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan to parents Joseph and Eileen (Porsnuk) Rudniski. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie and cousin. She was the 3rd child in a family of ten siblings. Laverne grew up in Bertwell, SK and later moved to Weekes where she attended elementary and high school.
On August 7, 1971, Laverne married the love of her life, Albert Jacob Renneberg, and together they had three children: Ricky Jacob; Albert Joseph Walter, Jr.; and Dwayne Robert. They enjoyed many outings as a family at Marean Lake and Greenwater Park. Laverne and Albert also enjoyed travelling throughout British Columbia and Alberta to visit family and friends.
Laverne was a proud homemaker and gardener extraordinaire. She enjoyed gardening, couponing, crosswords, radio contests and taking pictures. Her root cellar was always full of the vegetables, pickles, jams and jellies that she had canned. Every summer she would share her bounty with her extended family and friends. Many people will remember her entries at the community fairs.
She was a 15-year member of SAWCC and a member of MNS Eastern Region 2, Chelan Local, where she enjoyed many events and activities with her best friend, Sherry Soll. She loved taking pictures and every event she went to became a pictoral memory to share with others.
In the last two years, Laverne was blessed with many special moments. In 2017, she was excited to attend her granddaughter, Michalla’s wedding in Alberta where she got to take pictures of the mountains. Later that summer, she attended her granddaughter Erikka’s Grade 12 graduation, her nephew Joseph’s wedding and in August, she turned the big 6-5! In 2018, she was proud to see her two granddaughters, Rebekka graduate Grade 12 and her granddaughter Kourtney complete her training at the SHE Modelling Agency. Her greatest joy was yet to come with the birth of her great granddaughter, Marianne, who she cherished. Laverne loved music and during these last two years, Laverne and Albert attended several concerts featuring their favorite country artists.
Laverne was predeceased by her father Joseph (1971); sister Shirley (2001); mother Eileen (2008); brother Kenneth (2014); sister-in-law Claire (1976); father-in-law Walter (2001); granddaughter Alicia (2004) and mother-in-law Lina (2009). Her brother Allis passed away in 1951, prior to Laverne’s birth.
