Penny Jane Chisholm (nee Evans)
Penny passed away at the Gimli Community Health Center on January 18, 2018.
Penny was predeceased by her brother David; father Lew; daughter Candice; son-in-law Owen; mother Rose and father-in-law Kenneth. She is deeply cherished in the hearts of her youngest daughter Colleen; grandson Eden, Sadie, son in-law Fannuel; dear friend Asa; aunt Victoria; cousins Cheryl, Linda, and Frank and mother-in-law Sylvia. Penny was a faithful friend who will be dearly missed by many fine ladies that nurtured friendship with her for many years and through many challenges. Penny loved animals and cared for her dog(s) King, Rikki, Jeanie, Josh, Coal and Boon.
Penny grew up in Winnipeg Beach where she was surrounded by loving aunts and uncles who enriched her childhood. Penny was a fiercely devoted mother who was always there for her two daughters, grandson and family. Penny’s careers included nursing, home care, pharmaceutical assistant and banking. Penny was the light of her mother Rose’s eye and they shared an inseparable bond that included a love of cooking and baking. Penny made the holidays magical for her family and her creativeness and generosity were always noted. Penny kept a lovely and organized home that was always shared with her family. Penny was kind, witty, generous, loving, thoughtful, independent, strong and a beautiful soul. She stood up to injustice and came to the aid of those who could not protect themselves. Her passing is profoundly sorrowful for her beloved family and friends though there is comfort that she is at peace and re-united with loved ones. Her ornate handwriting scrolled supportive and loving letters for years and captured an abundance of life’s grandest quotes. Penny’s unwavering faith, integrity and perseverance in life were inspiring. Your warm embrace, wisdom, smile, sense of humor, care, laughter and adoration will remain with us forever Mom, and will continue to shape us into being better individuals and grateful for every moment.
