Grace Penlon Obituary
Greece: Passed at home surrounded by her loving family, Saturday, December 21, 2013 at the age of 99. Predeceased by husband Raymond Penlon, daughter Carol (Salvatore) Bartolone, and five siblings.

Grace had a special love for crocheting and needlework. She nurtured this passion in her children and grandchildren by patiently and lovingly teaching them the craft. Grace will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a kind and caring grandma and great-grandma.
Memorial service and interment will be held in spring 2014. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org) in Grace's memory.
