Renee Nicole Good was a mother, neighbor, writer, and quiet force in her Minneapolis community. At 37, she devoted herself to raising her three children, finding meaning in the routines of family life, the small acts of care, and her creative pursuits in writing and music.

Vigils sprang up, and stories of her kindness, attention to detail, and everyday generosity were shared widely. Her life was defined not by the tragedy of her death but by years of love, creativity, and quiet community impact.
