Rena Gipson

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Rena Kay Gipson of Pinetop-Lakeside,

Arizona who passed away on Tuesday afternoon, March 26, 2024, at Summit Healthcare

Regional Medical Center, Show Low Arizona.

Rena, a daughter of the late Frank and Ida May Polaski was born in Grand Rapids, Minnesota on December 22, 1952. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Msgt. (Retired) Ronnie R. Gipson, her three children, 8 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and her 3 siblings. She also leaves behind her beloved dog Coco.

Over the years as an Air Force wife, Rena supported her husband and children in each duty

station. Rena loved the friends she made through the years. For the past 8 years, Rena called Pinetop-Lakeside her home, becoming part of the small community of friends surrounding her home. Our tight net community is mourning a great loss.

A celebration of Rena's life is planned for a later date.
