Adored by her two grandchildren Matthew and Alex. Dear sister of Gary (Winnie), Billy (Suzanne), Diane (Brian), Mark, Helen (Bruce) and Roger (predeceased). Born in Val-D’Or, QC she was the daughter of the late Bill and Irene (nee Larocque) Kasepchuk. Rena will be missed by René, as well as by many nieces, nephews and friends. Special niece to Diane & René of Ottawa. Some of the greatest memories came from the times she was able to cook and spend with family, especially her children, grandchildren and fur-babies. Rena will be remembered as a caring, loving and fun person who always welcomed her “other kids”.

It’s thanks to my son Justin that I had the pleasure of meeting Rena. Warmest sincerest Sympathies to the kids, family and friends whose lives she touched.
