Penny was in my life forever she taught my daughter, (her god-daughter) how to build things in the shed then taught her girls. 3 generations of kids she taught us how to build and love life. She taught Rose an Evie (my granddaughters) how to swim. I'll be forever grateful they got to spend time with her in March 2024. We will always have our memories. Bye Pen Pen

I am at a loss, as is the family, I'm sure. What a shock to see a friend, so full of life, in the obits. She was a great friend, although our lives were a lifetime ago. My sincere condolences to Brenda and the entire family.
