Renee Adler was born in Brooklyn, New York to Ani and Oskar Adler, who were both Holocaust survivors. She grew up in Brooklyn with her brother Arnold, attended Erasmus Hall High School, and graduated from Pratt University. Renee was a free spirit with many creative interests, and was much beloved by her wide circle of international friends and family. For the past 32 years, she lived in Walden, Vermont, where she worked as a potter and art teacher. She was an avid gardener and amateur botanist, who loved art, dance, music and the theater.

Her treasured godchildren include Risa Scobie of New York, Aaron Watson of Charlottesville, Virginia, Cheten and Chewang Sherpa of Burlington, Vermont, Roie Amsterdamer of New York, and Kiva Silberfeld of New York.
