This is her story:
My name is Renee Michelle Moffitt Greene. I’m 43 years old and was born and raised in West Liberty, Ohio, where I graduated from West Liberty-Salem High School in 2001. I have been blessed to share the last eight years with my husband, Jeremy, who has been my rock through every high and low, and we have been married for the last six months. Together we’ve been blessed with six amazing children-Nathaniel, Ezekiel, Makayla, Isaiah, Delilah, and Viktoria (Tori)- and two wonderful grandsons. My health journey began in 2019 when I had a preventive Hysterectomy after learning I carry the BRCA1 gene that I Inherited from my mom. Then, in 2020, I was diagnosed with Stage lll triple-negative breast cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes. We faced surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, and we truly believed that chapter was behind us. In 2023, our world changed again when I was diagnosed with stage lll primary peritoneal cancer. Cancer was found in my abdominal lining, stomach, pelvis, and on my colon. Along with fighting cancer, I endured multiple surgeries and serious complications after my colon was rebuilt, including bowel blockages and sepsis. We celebrated being cancer-free again, but in April of 2026 we learned the cancer had indeed returned. Today, I am living with stage 4B primary peritoneal/ovarian cancer. I’ve completed five rounds of chemotherapy, and now we are taking a short break while my doctors determine the next step after new cancerous lymph nodes were found in my groin, pelvis, and abdominal wall. My doctors have been honest that this is no longer considered curable. Our goal now is to find treatments that give me the best quality of life and as much time as possible with the people that I love.
BUT here’s what I know: God has the final say. He has carried me through every diagnosis, every surgery, every treatment, and every difficult day. I don’t know exactly what tomorrow holds, but I do know who holds tomorrow. I will continue to fight with faith, surrounded by an incredible family, amazing friends, and a community that has shown us more love than we could have ever imagined.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being there. Your prayers, your encouragement, and your generosity reminds us that we’re not walking this road alone. We love you, and we’re grateful for each and every one of you.
Please come out and help us love on and support this beautiful child and family of God. If you are unable to attend in person, we are accepting checks made out to West Liberty Ice Cream Social and mailed to PO Box 606 West Liberty, Ohio. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
