Natalie Anne Zubko-Renner, age 62 years, of West Bend, Wisconsin was called home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 9, 2026, at St. Luke’s Medical Hospital-Milwaukee with her loving husband by her side.

Natalie was born on February 12, 1964, in Chicago, Illinois, to Dimitri and Emily Zubko. She was united in marriage on August 13, 1988, to her best friend and husband, Joseph Renner of 38 years.

Natalie was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, friend, and light in the lives of so many. She grew up in Coleman, Wisconsin. She graduated from Marinette Catholic Central. She later moved to Milwaukee, where she opened her own salon, which she owned and operated for many years.

Natalie was a dedicated and loving mother, raising her three children with patience, strength, and an unwavering commitment to them and their passions. She poured her heart into their lives and helped them grow into the people they are today. She homeschooled her children, instilling in them a deep love for Jesus and a heart for faith and kindness.

She was passionately involved in 4-H and the homeschool community in Washington County for many years, where she encouraged, supported, and inspired others. She loved animals, and volunteered at therapeutic riding centers and with the horse and pony project through 4-H. She also served as the coach of the KMHS Shooting Sports Team for many years, a role she embraced with dedication and enthusiasm.

Above all, Natalie had an unwavering love for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She shared His love with others whenever she was able, through her words, her actions, and the way she cared for those around her. Her faith was the foundation of her life and her family, and it touched everyone who knew her.

Natalie also had a special gift for bringing people together.

She loved others, enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends, and cherished the simple joy of sitting down with her closest loved ones for a cup of coffee and dessert. Those moments were some of her happiest, and they reflected the warmth, generosity, and love she so freely gave.

Natalie’s life was a beautiful example of faith, love, dedication, and kindness. She will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever loved.

Those Natalie leaves behind to cherish her memory include her loving husband, Joseph Renner; children, Emily (Derek) Markham, Casper Renner, and Olivia (Wade) Herda; grandchildren, Boaz Markham and grandbaby Herda due in 2027. Dear friend and chosen son, Lee (Sarah) Sowin (who lovingly called her Mom), and his children, Sawyer, Graham, and Harlow (who knew and loved her as Grandma).
