Penelope Corbin Obituary
It is with much sadness to announce Penny's passing at age 70 in Edmonton, Alberta.
Penny was preceded in death by her parents Charlie and Lillian Parkinson, brothers Terry and Lyle Talbot, Bryan Parkinson and her former husband and dear friend Jim Corbin.
Penny is survived by her loving son Greg, grandchildren Elyssa & Alex, brothers Brent (Bonnie), Ty (Linda), sisters-in-law Mary-Anne, Patricia, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and her beloved fur babies Bella and Bear.
In addition to immediate family Penny leaves a lifetime of special friendships & memories for all that knew & loved her. Penny was also well known as a "proxy" Mom, Grandma & Auntie to many, whom she held near & dear to her heart.
A very special thank-you to Tracy, Kelvin, Linda and Ethan for your unwavering love, support & commitment to Penny, especially over the past few months in ensuring all of her needs were met. A big thank-you to Shirley for a near 60-year friendship with Penny and for being able to be there for her during her last days.
Red was Penny's favourite color, roses were her favourite flower and "Somewhere over the Rainbow" was one of her favourite songs. Penny bravely rode the storm and is now riding the rainbow. A single red rose and the lighting of a red candle will be one of my ways in honouring her memory. I hope others will join in the same and find some comfort when needed the most.
Until we meet again my friend,
Forever your loving memory and spirit will be with all of us.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Oak Room at the Northshore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood, Ave, Kamloops, BC From 1:00pm-4:00pm on Sunday, October 2, 2022.
