Marge Pennig Obituary
Marge Pennig died Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009.
Marge came to Akron in 1937 from her hometown Minneapolis, Minn. with her late husband, Carl, who preceded her in death on their 63 wedding anniversary, June 12, 2000. He was employed at Goodyear Aerospace for 38 years and was the Project Engineer for the ZPN-1 Airship (1952). Over the years Marge gave thousands of hours to her community, including volunteering for Children's Hospital, St. Thomas Women's Board, The Women's Committee of the University of Akron and the Women's Board of Weathervane. She was an avid bridge player and was a member of Portage Country Club.
She is survived by her daughters, Carolyn (Dr. Robert D.) Thompson of Shaker Heights and Patricia Brubaker of Fairlawn Heights; grandchildren, Jennie (John) Thompson-Stellabottle, Julie (Michael) Brubaker-Anderson and Michael (Joanna) Brubaker; great-grandchildren, Sophia and Nicholas Stellabottle, Madison and Alexander Anderson; sister, Marianne Apice; brothers, Andrew (Peggy) Kloster and Richard (Delores) Kloster.
Per her request, there will be no calling hours. A private family mass will be held at their convenience. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Sisters of St. Dominic, 1230 W. Market St., Akron, OH 44313.

Dear Pat, I will miss your mom. Bea McDowell and I had many good times playing Bridge with the two of you at Portage.
It is always difficult losing a mom, but you have had to cope with so many other loses in your life. I'm sure your children are helping you thru this difficult time. May God watch over you now, and forever and ever!

We are saddened to learn of Marge's passing. She was one of the first neighbors we met when moving next door 7 years ago and she could always be counted on during an emergency! She was a real gem. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Dear Pat and Family, your mother was such a lovely lady, so gracious and active. Our school days were more appreciated because of her caring. The sadness is great but she will be with you every step you take. I lost my mom July -07 and it is amazing how she is with me. I wish you the same joy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. In Friendship and Faith , Karen Postma Jones
