RENEE M. MORELOCK

Renee M. Morelock died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on August 26, 2023. She was born to her parents, Robert and Jacqueline (Hess) Busch in Toledo, on November 5, 1949. She and her siblings grew up in Perrysburg Township and the Rossford area, and she graduated from Rossford High School in 1967. She met her future husband, Joseph Morelock, through a group of friends and she married him, the love of her life, in July of 1968.

Renee had a gentle and compassionate personality and she expressed that with her work at Harborside Health Care. She served in retirement centers, helping with life enriching activities for seniors. She had many special friends, both young and old, and everyone who knew her will miss her dearly. Her famous one liners kept everyone laughing.

Most important to Renee was family. She loved to attend every school and sporting event, cheering as her grandchildren’s biggest fan. Known as Mom, Aunt Re or Nana, she would not turn down a chance to go to lunch at Olive Garden or chat on the phone. Casino trips, bingo halls, fishing with family and attending church were all close to her heart.

Family gatherings would almost always include Renee’s famous Jell-O and the holidays would not be complete without her fruitcake that was regifted year after year. Legend has it that it had to be cut with a chainsaw.

Left to cherish her memory are her siblings, Marilyn Ilconich, Linda (Ron) Ruch, Bob (Jan) Busch, Garry (Dianne) Busch; children, Kim (Matt) Calaway, Kelli Schultz; grandchildren, Trent (Julie) Morelock, Erin (Chris) Cooper; great-grandchildren, Christina Cooper, Roman Cooper, Liam Morelock, and many dearly loved nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death, husband, Joseph Morelock; Robert (Jackie) Busch, and brother-in-law, Paul Ilconish.
