Tierney Madeline Penn's Obituary
On July, 2 2020, Tierney M. Penn returned to her husband, parents and peace. She is survived by her daughter, Gillian Penn, son, Blake Penn, son-in-law, Jesus Benitez, her three furry children: Lu, Woody and Angel and grandpup, Piggy.
Tierney was an exceptional example of survival. She raised her two small children after the death of her father, husband and mother with no other family support, providing a comfortable life for them full of books, food and music. Despite many physical ailments and mental health obstacles, she survived to see her daughter marry and create a home of her own and her son carve out a life for himself with a supportive job and close group of friends.
Tierney was a lover of animals, often donating to multiple animal rescue organizations while taking in any stray that crossed her path. She was a thesaurus, speaking to her children as adults gifting them with the power of language. She did not hold hatred in her heart, she taught her children to love all and to accept all people. She cooked for an army, ensuring that all that came into her home were comfortable and well cared for. She will be greatly missed.
The family will be hosting a small memorial service at Boza & Roel Funeral Home on Thursday July 9th from 6-7pm.
