Penny will always be remembered as a beautiful, classy lady, who also had a whimsical side. A great example would be the time she babysat a potbelly pig. Who would ever think of having a pig in their home.... Penny would! In the last few years Penny didn't leave the house that often but nothing would stop her from her Thursday ritual of getting her hair done. Stopping traffic as she crossed North Avenue in River Forest, without a care in the world, determined to make it to the Hair Salon. She will be forever in our memories with a place in our hearts. We will see you in River Forest and Cottage Grove for both of Penny's Memorials.

Oh, Penny. How I had hoped to see you again. We had some good times in Milwaukee that I will never forget. Especially the day I cleaned the bathroom and you came home from the beach and got sand all over it. (Ha, Ha). Us trudging up the stairs to the "turd" floor. Cooking in the basement kitchen and grocery shopping. Rest in Peace my dear Penny.
