Early in her life, she worked in the family owned restaurant then car sales and later managed a clothing store. She loved boating, water skiing, playing cards, and gardening. Most of all, her love for drag racing led to her smoking a tire off every now and then. Her life was a never-ending battle with Crohn's disease and when she was feeling well she was a joy to be with. Memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Flanigan Funeral Home with Dr. Richard Mark Lee officiating.

The loss of Penny and her mom is such a sad tragedy. I graduated with Penny and although we were not close friends, her bright smile and easy going personality is what stood out about her. May the love and graces of God, family and friends help those who loved her make sense of all of this. Thought and prayers to you.

My prayers go out to Penny and Barbara's family. I had lost touch with Penny after moving to Florida but have often wondered how she was doing. We had lots of fun together on the lake and enjoyed working with her Mom, my first job. I am sorry I did not keep in touch and to hear of the tragic ending and not being able to be there to show my respects.

I knew and graduated with Penny in 1975. We enjoyed some time together as friends. Although we lost touch through the years, I remember her as happy and friendly. My sympathy goes out to her family.

Penny was my friend, my very good friend, always there to help out even when she felt not so well herself. When I think of Penny, there is always a boat and water involved...and lots and lots of sunshine! Penny, you were the sunshine in a lot of our lives you touched. You are the sunshine of my life!Love, Linda
