Remington Viney

Sun Prairie/Kimberly. Remington Kristine Viney, age 26, passed away on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. She was flying in the seat of an airplane surrounded by miles of breath-taking sky; doing what she loved. She was born March 14, 1994 at St. Mary’s in Madison, daughter to Kevin and Tia (Scanlon) Viney. Her accomplishments were many but her most memorable asset and what was most important to her was the depth and breadth of her relationships with family and friends

She graduated with honors from Sun Prairie High School in 2012. She earned an Associate degree in Tactical Aircraft Maintenance and then received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from UW-Madison in 2017.

Remington was passionate about any adventure that life had to offer! She obtained her pilot license in high school. While in college, she was the captain of the Wisconsin Flying Team. Additionally, she was a founding member of the Women in Aviation, Madison chapter. She enlisted in the Wisconsin Air National Guard in 2013. She proudly served through several deployments and obtained the rank of Staff Sargent. She pursued accreditations and licensing to receive her commercial pilot license in addition to becoming a flight instructor. Remington was working on her degree in Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics. During her service in the guard, she met the love of her life, fellow service member, Kyle Henry. They shared so much together including her passion for real estate, flying, and raising her future stepson, Kellan. Above all else, her family was the anchor of her life and she was so excited for her future with her fiancé, Kyle.
