Penny Ann SANDERS

SANDERS, Penny Ann Apr 9, 1951 - Dec 4, 2025 To you all, good day or evening, whichever it might be. All of my life I have tried to be in charge, when I felt I was not, I always knew why. My Lord was in charge, and by His word, I knew I had to obey or else. His final word to me was "it is time to come home." I lifted my arms in the air and said "yes" and off I went not to look back or question. I am looking forward to going to be able to see the people that I have lost, to see my son Alan Earlscourt, my parents Jack and Margie Brown; my two sets of grandparents: Johnnie & Francis Brown and Howard & Alda Boub, plus my late husband Christopher Laughlin. In going, I start to cry, thinking of the ones that I love and must leave behind. My loving caring daughter, Nikki Earlscourt (please forgive me, I had to go). To the most caring, loving, kindhearted husband that a woman could ask for Wayne Sanders (I know I will see you later). Then there is my second family, that I love and will miss, my step-daughters and grandchildren: Kristina (Steve) Gaddy and Dennin; Kari (Bryan) Bug-Wiltse and Elisabeth, Keira, Claire; Aleena (Justin) Bevans and Charli and Hayes; Melissa Daehn and Ainsley. Still being in charge before I go, I have asked that there be no service. I have always hated services, it is just a time to cry, sing songs that the family had to pick out and hope that they picked the right ones and order flowers hoping that the person that just passed likes them. Services are also sad and I have had enough sadness in my life, so I don't want you all to be sad for me. It is a time to be happy. I know people hate that when there is no service and they feel that they didn't get to say goodbye but just look up and wave to the sky and shout "GOODBYE PENNY". One last thing that I wish to leave you all with a song that was written by Dolly Parton. (Her five-year contract had ended on the Porter Wagner show). I Will Always Love You If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go – but I know I'll think of you each step of the way And I will always love you Bittersweet memories That's all I'm taking with me Goodbye, please don't cry But I will always love you I will always love you I hope life treats you kind And I hope that you have all That you ever dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all this, I wish you love And I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you
