Penny loved family, friends, animals, ladybugs, casinos, the beach and her evening gin & tonic. All who knew Penny know she loved her birthdays and her favorite dessert was Birthday Cake with buttercream icing.



Penny grew up all over the world as a proud Air Force brat. Penny did so much in her 78 years ranging from attending JFK inauguration to sitting in Riverfront Stadium with Earl during the Bengals "Freezer Bowl" game.

She will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.

Penny would often share that her greatest achievement in life were her two daughters
