Gloria Renee Evans was born to Herbert (deceased) and Rose Anderson on May 10, 1956. A lifelong Brooklyn resident, Renee or Glo (as she was affectionately known), spent her childhood years attending P.S.20 elementary school, and her teens at Sands Junior High School and Clara Barton High school. As a young adult, Renee worked in advertising sales at Fairchild Publications, a company known for something she loved, fashion. She later moved on to a position with the The Metropolitan Transit Authority where she worked for 30 years.
Renee had a passion for learning and while working full-time she pursued her dream of a college education, earning
both Bachelors and a Masters Degrees from the City University of New York. Additionally, Renee loved music, theatre, a good time, a good laugh and God. She also loved to travel, and ventured to Africa and the Caribbean. In recent years she traveled regularly with a group of women known as “The Sisterhood Group.” These women were not just travel partners, they were close and dear friends as well. Together they journeyed to such faraway places as Cuba, Columbia, Africa, Greece and Costa Rica.
Renee had a loving spirit and a giving heart, and there was not a greater love than that she had for her daughter Brianni Celinah Bush, her granddaughter Chanel Madison Sky Ricks, Brianni’s best friend, Quiara Clark, and her own siblings: Roslyn Patricia Anderson (deceased), Lottie Denise Anderson, James Rahsun Houston, Nathaniel Kennedy and Richard Scott ( deceased). She also considered her cousin Pleshette Duncan and her friends, Jelani Bandele and Annette Green, sisters since they loved each other as such.
God called his daughter Renee home on January 18, 2021. She leaves to mourn her passing her mother, Rose Anderson; her sister, Lottie Anderson; her brothers, James Rahsun Houston and Nathaniel Kennedy; her daughter, Brianni Celinah Bush; her granddaughter, Chanel Madison Sky Ricks; her niece, Sabenna Aliyah Anderson; her nephew, Norman Paul Anderson and a whole host of aunts, cousins and friends.
Because Renee touched so many lives, it would be impossible to name all those who she loved and who loved her, so we say thank you to you all for the love that you exchanged with Renee, and we know she will truly be missed.
