Mrs. Connie Penny

Beautiful lady. One of my favorite people to work w/at Texas High. So sorry for your loss Precious.

Connie Trammel always recalled with glee and delight the time she and a group of Ashdown buddies traveled to T-Town to see an up-and-coming performer named Elvis Presley perform.....and he borrowed her blazer!

Her parents opened their home during our high school years for gatherings and even dancing; so much fun to remember. There wasn't a lot to do in a little town of only 1000 or so residents, and having a place to go on weekend nights was great. Connie always lit up a room with...

Mrs. Penny was such a wonderful teacher, and she always took time with each and every student. She was a great teacher, mentor, and friend to so many people. She was so proud of her family, and we as students were so fortunate to have her presence in our lives. Please know that we are praying for her family and are so sorry for your loss.

She was the first person who wasn't related to me that actually made me believe I was smart, she believed I could do anything, and make sure I believed it too... The world is less without her.the best dyslexic therapist a girl could have! Wish I could have talk with her one better time. So sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Penny was good person and teacher. She was my sister teacher tiger time and yearbook. Class 94. Rest peace Connie penny. Should going miss you so much. U always help each other out.

My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Mrs. Penny, a teacher who truly shaped my career trajectory. I started Journalism on the Yearbook and was subsequently promoted to Academics Editor. Not only did Mrs. Penny introduce me to desktop publishing (which would lead to a proofreading job after college), but she instilled in me leadership skills, honed my love of writing, and most importantly, a standard of excellence. With Mrs. Penny, I traveled to UT Austin for the first time,...

My heart dropped this morning when a classmate, Leah Rauch, texted me to tell me that our dear journalism teacher, Connie Penny had passed away. My best memories of Texas High School took place while working under her advisement for the Tiger Times newspaper and the always award winning yearbook. But Ms. Penny wasn't just a teacher, she was also a friend. She kept up with what we were doing and encouraged us to do our best and to think big. Her office door was always open whether you needed...

Mrs. Penny was a ray of sunshine in my life and the lives of so many others. You have our deepest condolences on her passing.

So sorry to hear about Connie, she was a very special person.
