Margaret (Marg) Elizabeth Penney was born on January 10, 1931 in Notre Dame Junction, now known as Lewisporte Junction, NL. She finished her journey on May 2, 2023 at the age of 92 years.
She was the daughter of the late Herbert and Maude Hopkins. She married the love of her life Leslie Penney in 1949 and they worked side by side for 60 years. She was a loyal wife, an extremely hard worker and a champion for her children. Marg was always active in her community whether it was school, church or the Legion. She volunteered many years for the Canadian Cancer Society. She will be remembered for her love of bingo, cards and rip off tickets. Her razor sharp wit provided many laughs to those who knew her well.
Marg was predeceased by her beloved Leslie, her parents Herbert and Maude Hopkins, her brothers Max and Bert, sisters Mary and Joan and great grandson Jack. Lovingly remembered by her sons Kevin (Beth) and Keon (Regina); daughters Amanda (Leroy), Donna (Ross) and Marie (Ian); grandchildren Rodney (Gerri), Peggy, Darrin (Lisa), Michael (Maxine), Christopher, Erin (Matt), Jonathan, Nicholas (Vanessa) and Mark (Jessica); 13 great grandchildren; 8 great great grandchildren; brother Richard (Dick) Hopkins (Marjorie), brother-in-law Manse (Louise); sister-in-law Mary and a large circle of family and friends. Resting at Fewer’s Funeral Home, Lethbridge. Visitation will be on Thursday, May 4 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and Friday, May 5 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will take place at 2 :00 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at Fewer’s Funeral Home, Lethbridge with interment to follow at the United Cemetery, Lethbridge. In her memory donations may be made to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre or the Janeway Childrens Hospital.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Clarenville Retirement Centre for providing a wonderful environment for Marg. Thanks go to the nurses and staff of G B Cross Hospital, Palliative Care Unit for such compassionate care in her final days.
“Those we love can never be more than a thought away, as long as there is a memory, they live in our hearts to stay”
