She grew up enjoying several activities, Girl Scouts, basketball, gymnastics and of course anything horse related. While growing up with cousins at the farm, they enjoyed swimming with horses, trail rides, and camping with Grandpa Bud on the sand hill. RaNae also liked staying at Susie Likness' when Anthony was younger. One of the highlights was an annual trip to the Black Hills Stock Show to spend time with family.

Anthony James Tchida was born into her life September 29, 2002 which she described as the Best day of her life. She was so proud of the young man he is becoming. RaNae's world revolved around her son and she could be seen at his basketball, football and baseball games cheering loud as she could. Her mission in life was to make people feel better and lift them up. Her friends remember her as brightening their day with a smile, as being the first to call and see how they were doing, as being positive and encouraging them, always there to talk. RaNae relished the times at the lake, out dancing, motorcycle trips to Sturgis with John, trail rides and just goofing around with friends, family and especially as Auntie. RaNae passed away at her home on November 27, 2016.
