Penny was a loving and fun Granny to her grandchildren, and a dedicated and devoted mother to Danny, Dana, and Wanda. She was always in a jovial mood with an amusing, contagious sense of humor. Penny was loved and cherished by all who knew her. Her fiesty and spunky personality will be greatly missed; for she will forever be our "lucky Penny."
