Renate Pabst Rill Baderschneider, 75, of Germany passed away April 25, 2013.

Renate was born on March 4, 1938, in Shonungen, Germany, but lived in the United States for much of her young adult years before moving back to Germany. Renate was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a perfect friend to anyone and everyone.

Renate was well known throughout the Zelienople area where she was employed by Genes Jewelry.

She is survived by her ex-husband, Richard (Roberta) Rill of Orrstown, Pa.; sons, Jim (Tanya) Rill of Alabama and Duane Rill of Cranberry Township; daughters, Tina McFarland of Butler and Michelle Kracke of Ellwood City; four grandchildren, Tiffany Kracke of Kettering, Ohio, Mathew and Michael Rill of Cranberry Township and Jayden Rill of Alabama; and three great-grandchildren, Caleb, Ryleigh and Trey of Kettering, Ohio. Also surviving are brothers and relatives in Germany.

Preceding her to Heaven are one infant child; her husband, Hans Baderschneider; and two grandchildren, Joshua and Brooke Kracke.

Special thanks and love to Walter and to all Renate’s family and friends in Germany for taking such good care of her.

We love and miss you mom. You are the best and you shine through all of us. Thank you for all you taught us and for all your love, see you again, forever.
