Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on November 2nd, 1953 out of the works of the late Mr. and Mrs. Beaubrun, the youngest of two sisters on her mother's side, of which Yardley is the elder, her mother, Mrs. Josephine Beaubrun, instilled in her the rudiments of the SDA Christian faith, and gave her a solid family upbringing.
At a young age, Renée completed the cycle of primary studies, before moving to Collège Fernand Prospère where she began the cycle of classical secondary studies. Being studious and very intelligent, she shone at school like a star.
Before she was able to complete her classical studies in Port-au-Prince; at the age of seventeen, Renée emigrated to the United States, and joined her mother, who lived in Brooklyn, NY where she completed her primary education. Renée then, pursued university studies in the US, graduating; she studied Spanish in Mexico and also certified in dietetics and medical laboratory. Renée worked at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for about twenty years.
Renée was a loving mother and a caring, far-sighted wife; she did not shirk her duties to her family, despite the suffering and pain caused by a tumor that had plagued her for years.
An elegant woman, a jovial person, a friend of all; she smiled at everyone, and had a kind note for everyone, even when she arrived late to church on tiptoe. However, she did not mind disturbing anyone who settled in her favorite seat at church.
With a giving heart, she was always ready to reach out to those who are suffering, or who are in need, especially in Haiti, her native country where she often travelled for extended stays; a country that she loved very much. As a good Samaritan, Renée volunteered to accompany folks to the hospital or clinic for medical care. Giving, sharing, helping others was her reason for living. "It makes me happy to know that people are well; I feel a kind of happiness that is found only in Jesus," she often said.
Renee loved God with all her heart. She loved her family, her children, and had a special devotion to her church where she served fervently. She is predeceased by her father Gesner, her mother Josephine; she is survived by her husband Jean H, her four children Ryan, Gabrielle, Jean and Jaime; as well as her nine grandkids.
Renee departed from this earth as a brave soldier, knowing that all is not over, since she had in her, the seed of eternal life. No more pains, no more sufferings, no more sorrows, no more setbacks for her! May God grant her to find peace in the place prepared and reserved for those who love Him.
