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.

I met Penny through her daughter Misty who I have known since we were in Ren Fair together. I loved Penny she was always so kind and caring. she never judged she always saw others for who they were on the inside. and that is something I will keep with me. I give much love to the family for I know how u feel when u lose someone u love dearly. RIP Penny give Kenton big hugs and kisses from everyone.
Growing up Penny was like a second mom to me. Misty and I were inseparable & I basically lived with the family every summer & on weekends. Whenever I got the chance! I lived clear across town & Penny was always more than willing to pick me up so her daughter & bf could be together.
Penny loved children, and I remember there to always be children ( & us teenagers) in the house. The fact that she took such good care of us kids, like her own, I will always hold dearly.
