A native of Mills River, she was born May 19, 1965 to Ocie Stinnett and the late Ed Ray Stinnett; a brother, Eddie Stinnett also predeceased her. Rena was a graduate of West Henderson High and later earned her associates as a Registered Nurse from AB Tech. She was an amazing mother and an exceptional caretaker to her loved ones.
