CHARLTON: Renate K. (Weber) Kempinski, of Charlton, MA, a beloved wife, mother, oma, and
friend passed away on Saturday, June 14th at the age of 85 surrounded by her loving family.
Renate was a warm, compassionate woman who touched the lives of countless people and
provided unwavering support to her family.
Renate was the heart of her home and is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Richard
P. Kempinski, her son Peter T. Kempinski and his wife Lisa of W. Brookfield, MA, her daughter
Heidi M. Kempinski and partner Marc Abadie of Kennebunkport, ME., and her grandson Ryan
Benasutti of Milford, NH.
Renate was born in Erfurt, Germany and ultimately settled in Ludwigsburg, Germany. She came
to the USA in 1961 to marry her sweetheart, Richard, who she met while he was serving in the
Army, stationed in Germany. Renate was predeceased by her parents Edwin and Kaethe
(Kroker) Weber and sister Marlene. Besides her US family, Renate is survived by her brother,
Rolf Weber and his wife Sabine, her sister Regina Wagner (Weber) and her husband Roland, as
well as nieces and cousins all of whom reside in Germany.
Renate was known for her green thumb, German traditions and kind heart; she will be dearly
missed. Private services and a burial in Worcester County Memorial Park, Paxton will be on
Wednesday, June 25, 2025. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the

Heaven gained a beautiful angel! Despite the geographical distance between us, Renate was a person you could just connect with so easily. Her tough German exterior quickly melted into a warm, loving and funny charm.

My sister Jessie and I grew close with Dick and Renate during our travels in 2012. We spent many days in the cruise ship playing Hand and Foot, laughing and learning about each others lives. Despite the significant age gap, we formed a close bond and have kept in touch with visits back and forth.

I will miss Renate“s witty sense of humour, her fierce competitiveness during card games, her love of gardening and hummingbirds, and her zest for life.

Dick, Peter, Heidi and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
