We mourn the loss of our Rome Area (NY) Zontian sister, Penny.
Penny served with distinction, from being the mistress of ceremonies for our events to using her beautiful artwork to designing the plaques for our awardees and serving as our Vice-President (2019-2022).
We enjoyed our conversations with Penny ranging from world events, colorful and inspiring stories from the time she was a librarian, to advocacy for the seasoned (elderly) citizens of our communities. She lent didactic structure to our Back to Basics Program for 3rd-4th grade girls at Gansevoort Elementary School in Rome.
We are saddened. But we´re thankful to have had Penny in our lives.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Davies family.
Dr. Camille Dillard, Former President of Rome Area Zonta Club of NY
