In addition to teaching grades Kindergarten to four at Redeemer, she also taught Sunday School. In September 1963, she began teaching Kindergarten at St. John's Lutheran School, where by the grace of God, she was able to teach her first four grandchildren and she has been privileged to serve for twenty six years retiring in June 1989. After retiring, Renata enjoyed spending her time, cooking, baking, crocheting and being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren that were her great joy in life.
