Renee was born in Fargo, North Dakota on April 19th, 1958. She was adopted at an early age by Bob and Ruth Olsen.  Renee was the middle child of two siblings, Ken and Luanne.

Renee and Richard (Dick) Noel married in Coeur d'Alene Idaho on September 29th, 1984. They spent the next 40 years building a beautiful life together and welcoming two boys Rory and Tanner. Renee loved Montana and the people. She had special relationships with her friends, and she held them dear to her heart. Renee was employed by a few businesses in Helena including helping her boys with the paper route and eventually retiring after almost a decade from the Post Office. Renee loved spending time with her grandkids, playing cribbage, getting her nails manicured and enjoying coffee dates at vanilla bean with her friends. She adored her pets and was known for taking in dogs throughout her life that needed a home. Renee was so happy and fun; you could always count on her to cheer you up and make you smile. Her laugh was contagious, and her kindness was unconditional. She was truly the life of the party anywhere she went.
