Laughter and Inspiration with Renita Wickes

Renita is an Army veteran having served eight years on active duty and another 25 on the civilian side. She joined the Army in rebellion to her dad who thought she wouldn’t make it two weeks.

She has experienced the ups and downs of life, like all of us, a divorce, lost a fiancé in the war, lost her parents to cancer but she has two beautiful children and a granddaughter and met her current husband on e-Harmony! She has an infectious, joyous spirit and brings laughter wherever she goes.

After her fiancé was killed, her perspective changed in such a way she asked herself, “What should I be doing in life and am I happy, if not, why am I doing it?” Renita also learned a valuable lesson from her fiancé, we don’t have to stay friends with people who are toxic just because we’ve been friends with them for years. So after his death, she cleaned house.

Her regret is she wishes she spent more time going home and spending time with her parents. Renita lives life and doesn’t wait for anything. Life is about enjoying the moments you get. Listen to Renita’s story and feel the laughter and inspiration she gives.
