Born in:
Miami, FL
Resided in:
Lawrenceville, GA
Ann Renee Fine, age 48, passed away February 2, 2015. Renee, as she preferred to be called, was the fourth and youngest child of Dorie (Hayes) Botteicher and the late Jack Botteicher.
Renee was born and raised in south Florida. She was a member of the graduating class of 1984 from Miami Southridge High School in Cutler Ridge, Florida. Renee remained in contact throughout her life with many of the friends she made while living in south Florida. She was also an enthusiastic member of the youth group hosted by St. Thomas Lutheran Church.
After graduating from high school, Renee briefly worked for AT&T while living in the Atlanta area. But her heart remained in south Florida. Renee returned to Cutler Ridge early in 1985. Upon her return to south Florida, Renee went to work at American Bankers Insurance Group, where she remained an employee until 1997.
In October, 1994, Renee had the good fortune to marry the love of her life, Frank R. Fine. Renee and Frank enjoyed the south Florida lifestyle, especially enjoying being close to two of Renee’s nieces. In 1997, a job opportunity brought Renee and Frank to Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Renee and Frank shared a lifelong passion for racing, especially NASCAR racing. They named their black Labrador Earnhardt in honor of one of their favorite drivers. Renee and Frank hosted many Daytona 500 parties at their home in Lawrenceville, where guests would enjoy Frank’s famous meatball subs.
Renee was a long time employee of the Primerica Financial Services Corporate office in Duluth. She was able to use her artistic talents in the Publications department. While working full time for Primerica, Renee earned her Bachelor of Science in Management degree. She graduated cum laude from Shorter College in December, 2006. Renee was also a volunteer for the organization AID Gwinnett.
Renee was passionate about books and reading. She spent many evenings sharing the details of her latest read with her nieces. Her nieces would often read the same book only so they could debate her point of view. She loved weekends on Lake Lanier with her family and a cold Coors Light. Having been born in south Florida, she loved the beach and would travel to Savannah, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach as often as she could. With Frank’s encouragement, Renee took up golf. Despite lessons, she was terrible at playing golf but became an excellent golf cart driver. Bowling was another sport Renee enjoyed.
Renee is survived by her mother, Dorie Botteicher, her brother, Glenn Botteicher and wife Debby, her sister Joy Miles, her sister GayLynn McManus and husband Cliff, nieces Melanie & Laura Miles and Emily & Julia McManus, great-nephew Jackson Geiman and many loving relatives and friends.

My heart goes out to you all at this time! This was beautifully written and did a great job depicting her amazing life and making you fall in love with Renee! You are all in my prayers at this time and for the time to come when you need them! May God grant you the peace and comfort you need during such a trying time in your lives!
I had the honor of knowing Renee and Frank from applebees. Renee was sure to bring a smile to my face no matter what was going on and would hug my neck upon seeing me. She will be missed greatly but I know her abd Frank are back together and looking down on all of us laughing.
I am heartbroken for everyone. She was a bright spot in our world, and taken way too young. She has left many wonderful family members, especially her Mother. I am deeply sorry for all of you. Although we know she is in a better place, it still hurts deeply that we have lost her. Please know that I am sending all of you my love and prayers during this time of grief. Linda Priest
I am sad for your loss, but know that she is now with your Dad and is in a loving place and at Peace with God, with no more pain or suffering. She will remain with you always in your hearts and memories of good times.
Know that you are loved and supported in this process.
God Bless you and the family,
My thoughts, love and prayers are with all of you. How proud you must be of her valiant fight!
My favorite ex sister in law. Had the sarcastic humor I enjoy. Many times spent sitting and laughing, usually at other people’s expense. But not in a mean manner.
Although we weren’t close over the last year’s when we did see each it her it was always good to chat.
God has another angel with him.
Teresa and I are heart broken for the passing of such a Sweet and Wonderful Lady. Always had a smile and a hug to share every time we saw her. You will be missed by so many lives that you have touched. RACE ON Frank and Renee Fine RACE ON!!!!! Love Teresa and Randy Dean
What a beautiful picture of Renee and a beautifully written memorial. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I can’t help but think she was a strong fighter just like Danny. May you have peace and comfort knowing there is no more pain and suffering. Heaven just got itself another Angel!
Renee was a precious jewel indeed. She always had a smile on her face, was always willing to help in anyway she could and lived life to the fullest. I’m going to miss her and I enjoyed working with here during her tenure here at Primerica. Thanks Renee for exemplifying God’s love to everyone you came in contact with. My prayers go out to your mother, siblings and other family members.
We are so sorry to hear of Renee’s passing. She always had a bright smile for everyone and now she is smiling down on us all from heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time. Sending you all love and hugz.
I too had the great fortune to know Renee through the Lawrenceville Applebee’s. Shared some fun stories and lots of laughs. She will be missed.
I was one of Renee’s co-workers in the former American Bankers for many years.This is a total shock to me. I extend my deepest sympathy to Ms Botteicher whom I had the pleasure to meet on several occasions GayLynn, Joy and the rest of the family, I know what a tightly knit family you are and my heart goes out to you. I am trully sorry for your loss.
A life so beautifully lived. A heart so beautifully loved. My deepest sympathy to Emily and family.
Renee will be truly missed as my friend and co-worker. My prayers go out to family and I know that Renee is in heaven and her pain is gone forever.
With a heavy heart I offer my sincerest and deepest condolences to the family and friends of Renee. We worked together for many years at American Bankers Insurance Group. During that time we became very good friends and had many fun times working together. Renee was such a sweet, loving and caring person and I was privileged and proud to call my friend. We lost touch over the years but I’ve always thought about her often and smiled reminiscing about the fun times we had. Heaven has truly gained another awesome Angel!
So sorry for your loss. I have two sisters and do not what I would do without them. I know God, as only HE can do, will give you the peace, but how hard it must be. Prayers are with you and your amily.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. We know she is safe in the arms of our savior. We have wonderful memories of your family from Saint Thomas.
The entire Botteicher family is in our thoughts & prayers. May you find peace in knowing that she’s dancing with Jesus (probably to a great 80’s Rock-n-Roll tune).
My deepest, heartfelt condolences.
The members of Grace Mountainside Church will remember the Botteicher Family in our prayers. We did’t know Renee personally but knew her precious Mother Dorie. All our love to you special Lady.
May God , keep you and your family wrapped in his loving arms. Thinking of you and your family.
My love to you, Dorie, and My Joy….and all the family. Prayers for peace and precious moments with loved ones in the days ahead.
i am so so sorry about the loss of renee.i did not know her that well but when i would meet her in the hall way she always have that wonderful smile on her beautiful face and a funny joke or a kind word to say.may god keep you safely in his loving arms.she can never be replaced but you can remember her in your heart and soul.may god keep you safe in the hard times ahead.love does heal a broken heart.
I so wanted to be there for her service… please know that I am there in thought and prayer. Her loss is truly making me re-prioritize things in my life. I have spent the better part of this week thinking back on all the fun times we shared together around the neighborhood, at church, at school and in explorers. She is a friend that intersected all my social groups, and although I know we (like all high school girlfriends) had our arguments, I can’t not recall a single one. Our friendship was one that lasted through the decades. We could go long periods of time w/o talking to each other, yet when we did pick up the phone, it was like we spoke just last week and would pick up right where we left off. I miss her already. It is a pleasure and honor to count her among my friends. I will continue to pray for the whole family as I know my loss is only a fraction of yours. Sadly, grief is the price we pay for having loved someone as special as Renee. I will cherish her memory for years to come and count myself blessed to have had her in my life. Peace be with you all… cherish the good times! She’d want it that way. 🙂
All my thoughts and prayers to you Dorie, Glenn, Joy, and Gay Lynn! You have always been my second Family. May your strong Faith and love from Family and Friends help ease your pain. Love and caring always from the Stinnett’s!!
I met Rene a few years back when I was visiting Frank’s brother Bob, who at the time had his RV parked in Rene’s front yard! I also was honored to meet her Mom! My sister Sharon is married to Frank’s older brother Ron! My sister kept me posted on Rene’s condition and I have been in prayer ever since! I continue to pray for Rene’s family……May God bless you all! I think Rene and I would have been good friends if we had lived closer together!!! I pray for strength n peace for the surviving family! REST IN PEACE Rene!!!! And God bless you!!’n
Beautifully written! You are so loved Renee. Travel in peace and love. You will be missed.
I first met Renee when Ron & I got married in 1999 & travelled to Dover when evacuated by a Hurricane. Already knowing the brothers & Bobbie since we kind of “grew up together,” I was anxious to meet the rest of the family. We had a wonderful week at Bob & Linda’s just hangin’ out & getting reacquainted. My sister, Sandi & I used to hang out at their house more than at home after school most days. Have been praying for Renee since we first heard about her illness & am hoping everyone can find some peace in the knowledge that she is reunited with Frank now & in peace. Love you girl. Will have to find another Miami Hurricane fan to harrass during football season.
I knew Renee in high school. She was part of a group of friends that hung out together through those high school years and after. I felt that Renee and I always had a special connection, even within the group of our friends. In retrospect, I was attracted to the solid foundation that her family and faith had provided her. That foundation seemed to leave room for greater humor and perspective, at least that’s how it feels to me now. There are no memories of my teenage years that don’t have Renee in them somewhere. I’m a better person for having known her.
Dear family of Sweet Renee,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you all! We remember Rene’ as probably the most soft spoken of the Botteicher family…taking after mom, of course. She was quiet and sincere as well. I know you will miss her tremendously. May the good Lord bless you and keep you during this difficult time as you grieve and give thanks to God for her precious life.
Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed awa
