Penny graduated from Mark Twain High School in the class of 1980.

 

Recently, Penny worked in sales and inventory at Mimi's Stuff and previously worked at General Mills and Serf Bros, but many knew her for her smile and friendly service from working at Country Kitchen. She had a smile and laugh that could light up a room. Penny had a "knack" for crafting and decorating.  When getting away from the cold and wintry Missouri weather, Penny and J.D. enjoyed trips to Florida and Las Vegas and during the summer month they enjoyed camping across the United States.  Some great times were shared cooking alongside her husband for family gatherings.  Penny had a love for music and was J.D.'s biggest fan of his band. Penny was a very witty person, she was non judgmental of people and was always encouraging people to help them through their lives.  She and J.D. were avid Kansas City Chiefs fans.   Her biggest love was spending time with her family, especially her grandbabies, they brought great joy to her.

 

Penny attended New London First Christian Church and Clover Road Christian Church.

 

Pallbearers will be Justin White, Josh White, Nick Nesbitt, Bill Durand, Jamie King, Enoch Matson and Ryan Kent.

 

Honorary Pallbearers will be Donald Kent and Don Campbell.
