Beulah Rose Reny

RENY Beulah Rose (Eckhart) Beulah Rose (Eckhart) Reny, 93, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away on November 10, 2015, at Hospice Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg. Beulah was born on January 27, 1922, in Toledo, to Ellis and Florence (Strassel) Eckhart. A graduate of Scott High School, Beulah met Ralph E. Reny when he was stationed in Chicago, with the Navy. Beulah and Ralph raised 7 children. Beulah was active in St. Pius Parish while her children were growing. She was active in the Altar Rosary Society and taught religious education classes for many years. Beulah worked for 24 years as a clerk at the Lucas County Courthouse. Upon retirement she became the kindergarten aide at her daughter's schools, St. Jude and Regina Coeli School where she was known as “Mrs. B”. She will undoubtedly be remembered as perhaps the Mud Hens' biggest fan, both at Ned Skeldon Stadium and then at Fifth Third Field, where she occupied seats in the first row behind third base since the team moved downtown, 14 years ago. She was also a great follower and fan of “The Cake Walking Jazz Band” and “Ragtime Rick”. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara Lane; sons, Ralph (Sue), D. Michael (Chris), Tim (Karen), Keith (Nan), Jeff (Jann) and Robert Reny; 18 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandson; sister-in-law, Eleanor Eckhart and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph E. (died November 10, 1998), sisters, Val Hitts and Iris Borough and brother, Edward “Sonny” Eckhart. Visitation will be on Friday, November 13th, from 2-8 p.m., at the Ansberg-West Funeral Home, 3000 Sylvania Avenue, (between Secor and Douglas Roads). Friends may also visit on Saturday, from 9 a.m., until the Mass of Christian Burial, at 10 a.m., at Regina Coeli Church, 530 Regina Parkway. Fr. Chris Kardzis will officiate.
