Penny loved spending time with her grandchildren, especially doing puzzles with them. Her Christian faith was an essential part of her life and she enjoyed sharing her faith with others. She got joy from leading bible studies and singing praise music. Her voice, in singing and talking, joyfully spread God’s love to everyone she met. She also enjoyed knitting, needlework, traveling and cooking.
