Walmart Greeter Turns Around to See Her Ex-Husband 43 Years Later Holding This Sign

Renate met her first husband Louis when she was just 18-years old and married him when she was only 19. After 12 years together, the couple decided to split up and go their separate ways.

But, Louis had been keeping something from her since they parted, and he traveled over 200 miles to tell Renate his true feelings in person.

Renate Was an Excellent Walmart Greeter

Renate Stumpf works as a Walmart greeter in a small town. At 75 years old, she spends her days talking to the locals in her town, who she has come to know over a lifetime. In her life she has been married twice.

Her first marriage ended in divorce, and her second marriage ended just a few years ago when her husband passed away.

She Reached Out to Old Friends

Now a widow, Stumpf frequently keeps up with her friends via social media on Facebook. Having just set up her account, she now reconnects with people from her past who she hasn’t had contact with in decades. But she couldn’t have expected who was about to get in touch with her.

A Message From an Old Friend Came From Out of the Blue

Stumpf’s three children from her first marriage were all grown and out of the home now, so in the time since her husband passed away, she found herself lonely in her home. Luckily, she wasn’t the only one looking up her old friends on Facebook.

She got a message from an old friend one day that she never saw coming.

She Didn’t Expect to See Him Again

Renate started her job as a Walmart greeter after she retired so she could get out of the house more and stay in touch with her friends around town. But the man looking from here didn’t live close by. He traveled hundreds of miles to make it to this Walmart location.
