Penny was a very loving wife. In fact that can be attributed to how loving Kent was to her. They were best friends since she was 14 and he was 12. In April of 1979 they became husband and wife living nearly forty years together, they lived for eachother, and their everlasting friendship was evident to all. In October of 1980 they had their firstborn Jacey, and,June of 1983 came Misty. It wasn't until sometime in 1986 they said lets have a third and the baby of the family Seth was born May of 1987.  They lovingly emotionally adopted their third song Chong yang, after his mother passed away and helped care for the other five younger children. Penny loved each and every one of the Yang children as if they were her very own. 

Penny and Kent raised their children as Jehovah's witnesses, and thus assisted in raising the grandchildren in the faith. Her grandchildren have literally been her life since the birth of Ethan. Penny did everything she could when she could and insisted on having the grandchildren often. The bond she had with each one of them is unmeasurable. 

Penny was raised as One of Jehovah's witnesses, and was baptized at the age of seventeen on the same day Kent was. She often smiled when telling the story of how when she came up from the water the first thing she heard was Kent saying I see you Penny. Penny lived for Jehovah, and his words lived on her heart. 

Penny believed deeply in the ressurection hope Jesus spoke of at John 11:25. One scripture she quoted on a regular bases was Revelation 21:4 " He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry or pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."  Her faith was strong, and she knew should anything happen to her she would wake up in the new paradise earth. She was truly a faithful servant till the end.
