Penny Ann Everett was born January 18, 1969, in Independence, IA, the daughter of Kenneth Clair Everett and Shirley Ann (Bergom) Everett.

She went on to Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, IA, and graduated from the Executive Secretary Program. Penny and her husband, Gregory Adam Garcia, made their home in Independence, where she worked as an executive secretary at the Mental Health Institute for 18 years before retiring due to her health. Penny was an avid bowler and also liked to shoot pool. She always looked forward to pool and bowling leagues. She loved her family and friends; and her pride and joy was her son, Dylan. Penny loved being his biggest cheerleader at all of his events. Dylan, in turn, was Penny's biggest cheerleader through all of her cancer treatments.

"Kenny" Everett of Independence; and other aunts, uncles, and cousins, including Cathy Bergom Barton of California. Penny is also survived by Adam's parents, Gilbert & Debra Garcia of Sugar Land, TX.
