Mary Renneker

Karen Brock Renneker, 59, of Springdale died April 5, 2011 at Northwest Medical Center in Springdale. She was born November 10, 1951 in Pittsburg, Kansas to Ken and Kathleen M. Kierl Brock. She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, and aunt, as well as a selfless caregiver and generous soul; a true angel of mercy. Karen was working as a LPN at Northwest Family Care Eastside in Springdale and had previously worked for Sisco Clinic in Springdale. She was a member of St. Raphael's Catholic Church in Springdale. She volunteered in the Springdale School System and was a member of the Bayyari Elementary PTA and the Helen Tyson Middle School PTO. Her favorite place to shop was Lowe's and always said she could be dropped off at opening, picked up at closing, and still wouldn't have had enough time to play with it all. She also enjoyed arts and crafts, working in the yard, watching any sport played by the Razorbacks, and being with her family. She loved her daughters more than life itself and will be missed more than words can say. She was preceded in death by her mother, Kathleen Brock, and two brothers, Kenneth Brock, Jr. and Joe Brock. Survivors include her husband, Michael Renneker of the home; three daughters, Amy Katherine Renneker Johnson and husband Shawn of Springdale, Ashley Michelle Renneker and Tori Allison Renneker both of Springdale; two brothers, Kenny Brock and wife Kelly of Independence, MO and Jeff Brock of Springdale; two sisters, Katherine Boeckman and husband Jerry of Scammon, KS and Vicki Brock Sargent and husband Steve of Springdale; sister-in-law Diana Brock of Bedford, TX; two grandchildren, Carson and Brea Johnson; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
