OLD LYME — UPDATED May 7 with full obituary: Renni was born in Akron, Ohio to Chester Wendell Ridgeway and Edna Pearl Ridgeway (née Stokes) in 1953. She graduated from Green High School in 1971 and went on to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from the University of Akron. She later earned a MSSA from Case Western Reserve University and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She married Richard Korsmeyer in 1985. She was a special education teacher, psychiatric social worker, loving mother, and award-winning artist. She discovered her passion for painting in the Old Lyme art community and was an elected artist in the Madison Art Society, Guilford Art League, and Essex Art Association, and an associate artist in the Lyme Art Association, the Clinton Art Society and the Mystic Art Association.
She is survived by her husband, Richard Korsmeyer, daughters Hannah Korsmeyer (m. Robert Powell) and Lea Korsmeyer, and her brother, Philip Ridgeway (m. Susan Ridgeway).
Renni’s family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to all the friends, caregivers, and medical professionals who provided such loving support to her. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Renni’s honor to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or to the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

OLD LYME: The Lyme Art Association (LAA) presents two exciting exhibitions this month, which continue through June 15. The first is the102nd Elected Artist Exhibition and the second, Ship to Shore: A Marine Show.
Showcasing a range of representational art, the102nd Elected Artist Exhibition features work from the accomplished artists elected to the LAA.
The exhibition is juried by Rosemary Swimm, president of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. Though steeped in the past, this show is relevant and connected to a community of working artists, who continue the legacy of art-making in the 21st century.
Running concurrently is Ship to Shore: A Marine Show. This exhibition explores the multifaceted aspects of water and sea life and how water shapes the lives of those who live along the shoreline.
Renowned painter Viktor Butko juried this exhibition, which features a range of styles explored by LAA member artists, who strive to capture the power and beauty of the sea.
Both shows are generously sponsored by Chelsea Groton Bank.
The LAA is a welcoming and thriving fine arts community founded in 1914 by the American Impressionists of Old Lyme.
Located in an historic, skylit 1921 building with a world-class gallery and art education studio, LAA exhibits over 2,000 paintings and sculptures each year in up to fifteen themed, juried shows.
The LAA offers art instruction, enrichment programs, and other public programs to the community, supporting artists at every level of their journey and cultivating a love of fine art.
Admission is free with contributions appreciated. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 – 5pm, or by appointment.
