Rene A. Hollencamp
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother. Rene Hollencamp, age 93, passed away at Azura Memory Care in Mukwonago, Wisconsin on April 20, 2026. She was born in Highbridge, Wisconsin on April 17, 1933 to William and Dorothy Kruzan. She spent her childhood years in Highbridge and attended Mellen Public School K-12.
After graduating from high school she moved to the Township of Randall to be with her family. She met the love of her life Charles A. Hollencamp son of Albert and Laura Hollencamp. They were married on October 11, 1952 in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin and were together for 62 years before Charles passed away in 2014.
When her children were old enough Rene took a job as “lunch lady” at the Randall Grade School across the street from her home where she eventually took on the head position and continued working there for many years before retiring. After retirement Charles and Rene enjoyed taking their children and grandchildren on an annual summer vacation to Big St. Germain Lake in northern Wisconsin to fish, relax and enjoy family time. That family tradition has been carried on since. Rene was a very active member in her church prior to Charles' passing. She served by helping out with funeral luncheons, counting money, and was a greeter. She enjoyed playing solitaire and working on her word search puzzles. She loved to cook, bake and talk about recipes. She sure loved her Wisconsin sports teams. Badger football and basketball, Packers, along with the Brewers were always on her TV.
Rene is survived by 3 sons, Craig Hollencamp, Dale Hollencamp, Thomas (Wendy) Hollencamp, and one daughter Kim (Robert) Movrich. A brother, Robert Kruzan and a sister Gail (Robert) Sankey. Loving Grandmother to Nicole (Jesse) White, Katherine (Jason) Dennis, Cari (Ryan) McBurney, Markus (Kayla) Movrich, Matthew (Jenna Luke) Movrich. Plus 10 Great Grandchildren, Alexis, Marissa, and Haylie White. Zachary, Gabriella, and Michaela Dennis. Aidan and Preston McBurney. Sawyer and Oakley Movrich.
