Renate Willig Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on November 2, 2025, at the age of 82, Renate Willig of Fredericksburg, Virginia passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Renate Willig to pay them a last tribute.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Agnes Klauske (Scheiper) and Eric Westpfahl; her husband John Carl Willig, Jr.; her son Timothy Herbert Willig; her sister Ruth Westpfahl; and her aunt Josephine "Finé" Scheiper.
She is survived by: her daughters, Michelle Christine Arbec (Michael Curtis Arbec), Joyce Carla Willig and Kimberly Kathleen Willig; and her grandchildren, Michael Curtis Arbec, Jr., Summer Rose Reardon, Willow Inez Reardon and Alïa Kathleen Will. She is also survived by many extended family members and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Fredericksburg SPCA (https://fredspca.org), since Renate adopted her beloved dog Strüdel from there.
