Remembering Rena

Donation protected
This is a fundraiser to support the memorial costs of Rena Aker. On May 20th, Rena left this world far too soon; leaving behind family and friends who will miss her more than words can express. All funds raised will go towards alleviating the financial stress of funeral costs, travel, and missed work for her siblings Kendra, Asha, and Evan.

Rena was a bright star, always the first to laugh, with a smile that ranged from a devious smirk to vivacious joy. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, loyalty, depth, and fearless athleticism - and of course her incomparable love of tacos. She was an avid outdoorswoman, and she never said no to an adventure. She was a sister, a daughter, and a family of choice to many related not by blood, but by love. To say she will be missed is not even an echo of the loss felt by those she left behind. Please be strong in your grief, reach out to one another and remember Rena is never gone from us as long as we hold her in our hearts and mirror her light in the world. 

We will update this gofundme with memorial information as plans unfold. We encourage anyone and everyone to share memories, written or photographic, here in the comment section. We will make a book of your memories of Rena for her loved ones to treasure.
