Mary Ann Renner

Mary Ann Renner, 86, of Rayville, passed away on March 11, 2026, at Liberty Hospital. Born on January 30, 1940, in Cole Camp, she was the daughter of Ervin John and Ella Anna (Von Holten) Henning. She married Lee Roy Renner, Sr., of Cole Camp on May 30, 1959; he preceded her in death on April 25, 2011.

Mary was a devoted housewife and homemaker who took great pride in raising her family. She loved country life and spent many years raising horses and cattle alongside her loved ones. A member of the Missouri Hereford Association, she especially cherished attending cattle shows with her family. She was also a longtime member of the Rayville Christian Union Church.

She is survived by her three daughters, Debra Davis of Richmond, Theresa (Mike) Phillips of Richmond, and Terri (Brad) Wellman of Excelsior Springs; eight grandchildren, Tara (Justin) Eidson, Becky Davis, Megan Davis (Travis Sutton), Amy Phillips (Allen Yankee), Angela Phillips, Amanda (Kevin) Nichols, Dustin Wellman, and Dakkota (Freddy) Garcia; ten great-grandchildren, Preston Jones, Elli Sutton, Vivian Ford, Liam Sutton, Tatum (Brandon) Motley, Taylor McGlothin, Taylee Nichols, Emery Garcia, Camila Garcia, and Jesus Garcia; her sister, Betty Harms of Cole Camp; her sister-in-law, Beverly Henning of Cole Camp; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, Mary was preceded in death by her son, Lee Roy Renner, Jr., two brothers, Lee Roy Henning and Reinhold John Henning, and son-in-law, Steven “Kem” Davis. She will be remembered for her warm, welcoming home that was always open to family, her special nicknames for each grandchild, her love of animals—especially her dog, Granny—her enjoyment of Alan Jackson music, fishing, and creating ceramics and other artwork.
