Renea K. Thompson

Renea K. Thompson was born on October 31, 1964 in St. Francis County, Arkansas to Dorothy Mae Rucker and Robert Lee Palmer who both preceded her in death and now Renea has accepted the invitation from God to join them in a house not built by man’s hands but him the Lord. Renea accepted Christ into her life at a very early age. Gramma Alice kept them in church serving the Lord. Dorothy Mae Rucker moved the family to St. Louis, Missouri when Renea was about nine years old, starting a new path in life. Renea attended and graduated from the St. Louis, Public School District. Renea’s passion in school was reading and singing. Later in life Renea developed a passion for taking care of people, so she enrolled in St. Charles Community College pursuing a nursing career upon completion. Renea loved working in the Hospitality and Nursing field and did both for many years until her health started to decline. Renea was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents, Tom and Alice Thompson, Arthur and Jesse Palmer, all of Rond Pond, Arkansas; three granddaughters, Taliyah Henderson, Story Jones 1st and Story Jones 2nd; eight uncles, Willie Thompson, Freddie Thompson, Tommy Thompson, Charles Palmer, Douglas Palmer, Jean Palmer and Wesley Palmer; six aunties, Emma Wonsley, Patricia Thompson-Brown, Lillian Thompson, Elizabeth Palmer, Dorothy Mae Palmer and Ingrid Johnson.
