Renee Laverne Roeder, 90, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2019, in Morgantown.
Renee was born on March 24, 1929, in Greeley, Colo., to Conrad and Alfreda Seastrand. Her father was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army. Her family lived in several states before moving to Louisville, Ky. She graduated from Louisville Girls High School in 1946. She married George E. Roeder Jr. in 1948, when they were both 19. Renee lived in Louisville until George passed away in 1985.
Renee spent the majority of her professional life managing physicians’ offices. After she retired, she moved to Atlanta to be near her daughter, Connie. She relocated again to live with her son, George, in Morgantown in 2005, so she could watch her grandson, Zach, play baseball. Renee was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching golf, football, tennis, baseball and the Olympics. Basketball was her favorite. Having lived in Kentucky most of her life, she was a loyal UK Wildcats fan, but she also rooted for the Mountaineers after moving to West Virginia.
Renee is survived by her son, George E. Roeder III and wife, Kathy L. Snyder, of Morgantown; her daughter, Connie S. Roeder, of Madison, Tenn.; her grandson, Dr. Zachary S. Roeder and wife, Erika R. Roeder, of Arlington, Va.; her sister, Connie Marie Weinhold and husband, Albert R. Weinhold III, of Phoenix, Ariz., and their children and grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, George E. Roeder Jr. and her parents.
