Pernita spent many years doing the bookkeeping for the family business. She also worked for Washington Local School District.

Pernita was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, Bob Redmond; parents, Earl and Irene Rose; brother, James Redmond and grandson, Adam Redmond.
She has left her family and friends with a heart full of love and wonderful memories. She will truly be missed and so will her biscuits and gravy.

Pernita and I were 1st cousins. As I entered
High School she was more like a Big Sister, I a Freshman and she a Senior (Woodward, Class of '54)showing me to all my classes. We also road the School Bus each day
finishing homework on the way. But most importantly we worked on our makeup, especially the Lipstick which had to be just-right.
