PENNY PLANTJE Peacefully, on July 12, 2006, Mrs. Penny Plantje, aged 63 years, of Sherwood Park, AB (formerly of Winnipeg, MB) passed away. Penny will be lovingly remembered by her son Jeff (Gail and grandsons Josh and Dylan) daughter Jill (Dan Unruh and son Lee Unruh), brother David (Susan), and sister-in-law Lynda McCullough (niece Karen and nephew Robert). Penny was predeceased by her husband John, her mother Audrey and her father Jack. Penny began life in Winnipeg, MB. She and David grew up in a happy home. The happiness was marred by the sudden passing of their father when Penny and David were young. They drew love and support from their extended family. Penny and her loving husband, John, were married in 1964. The birth of their son Jeff followed. The family became complete with the birth of daughter Jill. In 1969 the family moved to Calgary in the first of what would be many moves between Alberta and Manitoba. Penny had numerous careers during her lifetime; in the insurance industry, in real estate administration and for the past 14 years as the co-owner, with John, of the Sherwood Park Joey's Only Seafood Restaurant. Penny was an active volunteer through out her life with organizations such as the Girl Guides, the Red Cross and the Sherwood Park Chamber of Commerce. A memorial service will be held Wednesday July 19 at 10:00 a.m. at Park Place Funeral Home, 51 Broadway Blvd., Sherwood Park.
