Penn Schubert Obituary
Penn is survived by his wife of 51 years, Kathy Keener Schubert; daughters Brooke Owen by Kennedy (Walter) of Yorktown, VA, and Courtney Penn Schubert of Charlotte, NC; sister Daphne Lee Benton (Jason); and grandsons, Benjamin Wallace Owenby and Adam Christopher Owenby. Survivors also include a very large extended loving supportive family.
No one was a stranger. Everyone got a smile, joke or a sarcastic comment. They were sometimes funny, and sometimes inappropriate, but always said to put a smile on your face. His family was his life. Penn was the consummate girl dad. You will not find a man more proud of his daughters. He devoted 56 years to his wife through love, support, and acts of service. Penn was devoted to his faith and loved the Outer Banks, history, and his cats. His kittens, Crosby and Nash, already miss him. They continually sleep in his chair where they sat with him every day.
A visitation for Penn will be held Monday, February 12, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Parklawn Wood Funeral, 2551N. Armistead Ave., Hampton, Virginia 23666.

My husband and myself knew Penn and Kathy from Aldersgate Methodist church and I taught the girls in Sunday School. Bud has gone to be with the Lord also but Kathy and girls I know your heart is hurting. I can feel for you. Please except my condolences and I wish you well. Joyce G.

Kathy, Brooke and Courtney I´m so so very sorry to hear of Penn´s passing. I´m sorry I wasn´t able to be there for you as I´ve had some health issues. I cannot even begin to tell you that I know what you must be feeling. Penn was such a good man all the way around! I have a lot of fond memories after being neighbors for 38 years. He always made me smile! I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that I´m with you in spirit and I will be praying for your comfort, strength and peace.

I have a lot of fond memories of Penn after all I lived next door to the Schubert´s for 38 years. Penn ALWAYS had a joke, a sarcastic remark or just a hello. We used to greet each other with "What´s up Meatball". I will truly miss him, his jokes and his sarcasm. Rest in peace my friend.

I was sorry to hearing of Penn's passing. For several years he attended the Thursday Men's Fellowship Breakfast at the Greek Center and we became good friends. His company built the kitchen cablinets we have in our home and Penn was gracious enough to give me some parts to replace those that wore out. Please accept my sincere condolences.
