The Bakersfield Californian 
Renee Edna Chance
Sept. 11, 1951 - Apr. 30, 2005

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. 

On April 30, 2005, Renee lost her courageous battle with cancer. Services will 
be held at Hillcrest Memorial Chapel, on Saturday, May 7th, at 11:00 a.m.

Renee was born on September 11, 1951, in Alameda, California, to Forrest Otis 
Baker and Geraldine Ruth Baker. She is preceded in death by her loving father, 
Forrest; her brother, Sonny; and survived by her devoted mother, Geraldine.

Her previous 19-year marriage to her childhood sweetheart produced her three 
surviving children, Regina Mooney, Reagan Bryan and Reed Capps. Her sisters, 
Nicole Baker, Helen Fecke, and grandchildren, Dylan Mooney, Hunter Mooney, and 
Chandler Capps also survive her.

We would be remiss if we did not mention her surviving family at 
Texaco/Equilon/Shell Oil Refinery. Renee spent 17 years with this wonderful 
extended family. During her time there she chaired numerous charitable events 
including United Way Day of Caring, American Cancer Society Relay for Life, 
Epilepsy Society Mud Volleyball, and was a member of the Refinery Volunteer 
Fire Brigade.

Renee was passionate about her family, friends, and her beautiful home and 
yard. She is best remembered for her exceptional warmth, her vibrant 
personality, sense of humor, and never-ending hospitality. She loved nothing 
more than to be surrounded by friends and family while preparing one of her 
famous home-cooked meals.

Renees relationship with Jehovah God began with her baptism in 1969. Renee 
held on to and found comfort in her spiritual beliefs until her untimely 
passing.

Her ultimate goal was to start her own bereavement business to provide comfort 
and service to families facing the same hardship we find ourselves in today. 
At the time of her fathers death, Renee realized the need for assistance to 
families in mourning. With her compassionate heart, Renee knew she could help 
ease the burden for families in their time of greatest need.

We can all only hope to exhibit the same strength, style and incredible spirit 
in life as Renee did in death.

Heartfelt thanks to Renees wonderful friends, Sandy Blanquette, Connie 
Selgrath, Rusty Ladd, BJ Weidinger, Jo Enderle, and Sharon Swanson for their 
love and support. We would also like to thank Hoffman Hospice for their caring 
services.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made for the education 
and benefit of Renees little sister, Nicole D. Baker to any Citibank location.
