She had an amazing life and accomplished so much for the Navy. RIP.

".......
The enduring light of Renée’s life shone on the lives of many others, including orphans in Thailand, who called an orphanage brought into existence by her sponsorship, “home”.

She also sponsored scholarships for Navy children, a passionate work she continued after her husband retired by sponsoring an annual charity event at her farm in Warrenton, VA for over 20 years. Renée will be remembered by countless Navy children for whom she raised tens of thousands of dollars for their education.

“Elegance and doing things first class were her trademarks. She was at ease in hosting many world leaders. Her official dinner parties achieved legendary status.” (Washington Post)

“One of Renée’s proudest moments was becoming the sponsor of the cruiser USS Philippine Sea (CG-58).”
