Renee Marie King, 25, born at Bellevue Hospital to Clyde King and Sandra (Stevenson) King on May 14, 1984, was reborn to eternal life on Monday, September 28, 2009, after a courageous four month battle with a very aggressive cancer. Renee graduated from Schalmont High School in 2002. She had since been employed as a licensed cosmetologist and, over the last year, was also working as a medical receptionist. Renee was a "true" people person. She cherished the lasting friendships she made along the way and had a gift of touching people's lives. Her motto, "Everything happens for a reason." Survivors include her parents, Clyde and Sandra King; sisters, Samantha and Alissa King; nephew, Parker Croote; partner, Kevin Gillenwalters; maternal grandmother, Leila Stevenson; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Calling hours will be held Thursday evening from 5 to 8 at the DeMarco-Stone Funeral Home, 1605 Helderberg Ave., Schenectady. A memorial service celebrating her life will begin on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Calvary Tabernacle, Albany St., Schenectady. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the March of Dimes or the National Kidney Foundation . The family would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support they received over the last four months. Special thanks to the staff at St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam for their care and compassion over these last few weeks, especially Dr. Vytrisal. Also to the many people such as Pastor Lorenzo, who helped Renee be confident she was going home to live with the Lord. -
