Jaime (Hannah), and a compassionate grandmother to her cherished grandchildren—Lily-Anne C. Castello, Gabriella Goodrich, Conner J. Norton, Amaya Anna Jaime, and great-granddaughter Alayna Norton. She would love hearing the tales of her brother Bruce Cary Shrader from his travels around the globe. She found joy in her role as a younger sister to Laura Wingfield (Patrick), a half-brother to Michael K. Shrader (Kathi), and as a caring aunt to her nieces and nephews, including Brittany M. Wingfield (Steve), Cassie L. Wingfield, and Tyler P. Wingfield, as well as her great-niece Zoey A. Adamson.

Penny’s spirit shone brightly in all aspects of her life.

She was a passionate lover of rock and metal music, particularly the iconic band KISS as well as her favorite GUNS N ROSES. She found immense joy spending game nights with family and friends. Her greatest accomplishment, however, was witnessing the growth and happiness of her family—each milestone a cherished memory in her heart.
