Renee Margaret Greening
1969 – 2022
Renee Greening passed away on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, in Calgary, AB.
She will be missed and lovingly remembered by her children, Devon Greening of Vancouver, BC and Denver Greening of Calgary, AB; brother, Steven (Terri) and their children, Soren, Latham and Freyja; mother, Linda Dobinson; stepfather, Geoff Dobinson; stepfather, Stig Karlsson; as well as many other extended family and friends. Renee was predeceased by her brother, Kevin Karlsson.
Renee was born in Victoria, BC. She absolutely loved flamingos and had clothing, bedding and jewelry to make sure everyone was aware of that. Renee loved being an advocate for the homeless and marginalized. She gave a voice to those, who by circumstance, had theirs taken away.
Renee worked tirelessly in the Housing First sector for over 22 years. She was empathetic, understanding and most of all, someone who could truly understand what you were going through. Renee would not want us to mourn her, well maybe a little. Ultimately, she would want us to lean on each other and remember her for the bright soul that she was. All of our love to you Renee, you are now among the stars.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Renee’s memory to the Calgary Women’s Emergency Shelter. To view and share photos, condolences and memories of Renee, please visit www.choicememorial.com.
