In Memory Of
Rena Gail Dausman Watts
1945 - 2020
Rena’s primary focus was loving and serving her family, which included weekly Sunday lunches with fantastic Southern cooking. She rarely sat through an entire meal, as she was always ensuring that everyone had a full glass of sweet tea and food on their plate. These meals were meticulously planned so that they all involved a variety of color and that appropriate serving dishes were used, as any respectable Southern woman would never serve anything directly from the pot. Rena loved attending her grandchildren’s (Gabe and Mariah’s) many events and insisted that they were the best no matter the outcome of the competition. Some of her favorite past-times involved taking cruises with friends and family, ranging from Alaska to the Caribbean, and going on road trips to family events. Throughout her life, Rena would always be accompanied by a good paperback book, as reading from a screen was a thing of the future that she was not ready to accept. Proper visiting in Rena’s home was a priority for her, which meant that televisions were not allowed in the living room so that she could give you her full attention. There was; however, a new puzzle on the coffee table to put together while visiting. She was always up for the challenge of a card or board game and wasn’t afraid to join right in, no matter how rowdy the game got. Rena always thought ahead and was mindful to make sure that everyone felt included during holidays and gatherings. She was diligent in sending out cards and purchasing gifts for any event that arose. She was a true blessing to all that she met and she will be forever missed.
Rena is survived by her mother, Muriel Boykin; her husband, Lee Watts; her daughter, Kathy Heuer (Brent) and grandchildren Gabriel and Mariah; and her son, Jeremy Watts, all of Casper. She is preceded in death by her father, Warren Dausman.
A viewing will be held at Newcomer Funeral Home from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, January 24th. Services will be held at Newcomer’s Saturday at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception at Casper Alliance Church at 2000 Casper St.
