Myra was born in Tipton, Oklahoma and was a longtime resident of Fremont and Livermore, CA.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, William (Bill) H. Pennington, her twin sister Mary Jones, and her five other siblings. She is survived by her brothers-in-law Jim Jones and Jack Pennington.
Loving Mother of Kirk (Cathy), Glenn, Brad (Leslie) and grandmother of Erik, Darren (Sonia), Tyler, Paul (Noah), Aaron (Susan), and Christopher (Bryn). Aunt of 22 nieces and nephews. Always involved, she enjoyed being a Homemaker, a Cub Scout Den Mother, a Boy Scout Patrol Mother, and participating in the PTA.
