Renate "Rene" Aves

AVES, RENATE "RENE" MARIA
The death of Renate Marie (Hoffmeier) Aves occurred on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. She was born on May 8, 1933 in Koblenz, Germany, a daughter of the late Franz and Christine (Arenz) Hoffmeier and loving wife of the late William “Bud” Aves, who departed this life on December 2, 2015.
Renate "Rene" was a member of St. Ann’s Parish Church and during her career was employed at the Saint John Dry Dock, Prince Charles School and Workers Compensation Board, finally retiring in 1988 from St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Rene was a skilled and competitive bridge player, a voracious reader and a lover of classical music and opera. As a world traveller, she easily gathered many new friends on her journeys.
Her radiant smile, humour, intelligence, attentive listening and grace grounded her unfailingly optimistic outlook on life, for which she will lovingly be remembered and sadly missed.
Rene is survived by her son, Thomas W. Aves (Christie Hughes) of Calgary, AB; sister, Lida Schaefer of Cumming, Georgia; brother-in-law Joseph Kirsch of Koblenz, Germany as well as several nieces, nephews and many friends.
In addition to her husband and parents, Rene was predeceased by a brother, Bernd Hoffmeier, sister Lutz Kirsch and brother-in-law Hans Schaefer
Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (634-7424) with visiting on Wednesday April 27 from 2 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday April 28 at St Ann’s Parish Church, 144 Simpson Drive, Saint John, NB at 10 am. Interment will take place at Fernhill Cemetery at a later date.
For those who wish, remembrances made to the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
