Renee LaRose Lawe Lane
Feb. 22, 1939 – May 21, 2022
Tribal Elder Renee LaRose Lawe Lane passed
away peacefully at the age of 83 on Saturday,
May 21, 2022.
Renee was born on Feb. 22, 1939, in Salem,
Ore., to Reynold Joseph Lawe and Dorothy
LaRose McKnight Lawe.
Renee was preceded in death by her son, Antho-
ny “Tony” Joseph Lane; daughter, Faye LaRose
Lane (Miller); grandson, Jesse Clayton Lane; and
her parents, Reynold and Dorothy Lawe.
Renee’s family moved to Nevada where her sis-
ter, Diane Marie Lawe (Lane) was born. The family moved around a few
times before settling in Nevada, where Renee graduated from Yerington
High School.
Her parents moved to Phoenix, Ariz., where they worked with the Bureau
of Indian Affairs. At this time, Renee went to college to study nursing. In
1960, the family moved back to Oregon where Renee attended business
college.
Renee married David Leroy Lane on Oct. 26, 1961, in Salem, Ore. They
had three children together: Anthony “Tony” Joseph Lane, Faye LaRose
Lane (Miller) and Reynold Scott Lane. Renee and David were married
for 61 years.
Renee worked at and retired from Chemawa Indian School in Salem,
Ore., as an administrator.
Renee always loved reading from a young age, and you could always
catch her in her rocking chair reading a book. Her mother taught her to
crochet, and she made blankets for her children and grandchildren.
Renee and Diane loved going to the rodeo together and were very close
best friends. She would take trips with her family and grandchildren to
places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.
Renee liked sports and would watch NASCAR races whenever they
were on. She once took a trip with her husband David and son Reynold to
Phoenix to watch a live NASCAR race.
She also enjoyed relaxing in her chair while watch sci-fi TV shows like
“Star Trek” or “The X Files.”
Renee opened her heart to many and had numerous people who consid-
ered her “mom” or “grandma.”
Renee is survived by her husband, David Lane; sister, Diane Lane;
grandchildren, David Shepard, Casiopa Miller, Lenard Lane, Crystal
Bigelow (Aaron), Amber Lane, Joseph Lane and Cheyenne Lane; and
great-grandchildren, Jayda Lane, Alice Lane, Ryan Lane, Lily Bigelow,
Sophia Ortiz, Landon Heesacker, Brennon Lane and Bentley Hernandez.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 5, at the Grand Ronde
Tribal gym. Dallas Mortuary Tribute Center is caring for the family.
