Renée's obituary

Renée Ross passed away unexpectedly on April 04, 2023, at the age of 17.

Born to Shannon J. Christie & Ernie Ross on January 29th, 2006, in The Bronx, New York. Renee was a beautiful & vibrant baby. She grew up in Marietta & Atlanta Georgia.

When she was 3, she immediately became obsessed with Art and Music. Some of Renee's favorite activities were drawing, music, singing, dancing, and swimming. She loved Little Einsteins, Angry Birds, Peppa Pig, Anime, Mulan, Rio "tropical birds", and Mermaids. She desired to be a cartoonist, a professional lion dancer, an Erhu player, and a professional mermaid.

Our family was not expecting the loss of Renee or for her life to be cut so short so soon. We are devastated by this loss and will feel the absence of Renee forever. She was the most honest, sweetest, kindest, silliest, & most loving soul and a joy to be around. She will forever be missed.

Renee was very proud of her multicultural heritage. She was a proud American, Guyanese, Jamaican, and Hispanic Princess, and her family is very large spanning across the Earth.

Renée will always be remembered by her large family, especially her immediate relatives Mother: Shannon Christie, Father: Ernie Ross, Maternal Grandparents: Donovan Christie Sr, Jacqueline Christie, Great Grandfather: Jerene Christie Paternal Grandmother: Sandra Milne- Kawall, Siblings: Trysten Ross and Anita (Gigi) Ross.

Her Caregivers throughout the years: Digna Bowen, Yalitsa Warren, Nicole & Lalah James, Tonia & Lexis Davis, Barbara Baretto, Cynthia Laurens, Sapien, Alexa Razo, & Yulian Deflores who were important parts of Renees day to day life and supported us in parenting.

She will also be remembered by every single one of her Teachers, counselors, and therapists from pre-K to 11th grade that showed patience and cared for her like their own family members.

We are eternally and deeply grateful for all of the care and loved you showed Renee and supported her family.
