Renae L. Knowles-McKinney

Renae Lynn McKinney, age 58, of Belton, MO, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 13, 2026 with her husband, Shawn by her side.  Renae was born on September 9, 1967 in Antigo, WI to Harold and Carole Knowles of Birnamwood, WI.

Renae was known to all as a vibrant, loving person with a never-failing sense of humor.  She dearly loved her family and she loved the Lord. Through the years of her illness, she never complained, and attended every appointment sporting one of her favorite animal print outfits.

Renae is survived by her loving husband, Shawn McKinney; daughters Jehra DePina and Jazanee DePina; stepsons Brandon McKinney and Kadin McKinney; her mother Carole Knowles; brothers Kelly (Kathleen) Knowles and Kip (Kathryn) Knowles; her mother-in-law Cynthia McKinney, and a large extended family and many friends who will greatly miss her sparkling blue eyes and her beautiful smile.

Renae was preceded in death by her father, Harold Knowles and her brother, Craig Knowles.

Memorial services will be held at a later date at the Belton Assembly of God Church in Belton, MO, and in Birnamwood, WI, where she will be laid to rest.
