Joan Penhollow Obituary

Joan was born in Darlington to her late parents, John L. and Mae (Haynes) Triplett. She was married to the late Thomas Edward Rineholt and the late Allen Penhollow.

Joan was a wonderful mother and a devoted spouse. She cared deeply for her home and was a stellar cook, baker, crafter and gardener. She cherished all the time she spent with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and with her brother, Kevin. She was a strong, independent and selfless woman.
