It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the beautiful Penelope after a long battle with respiratory disease. She was a loving soul and leaves behind her husband of fifty-two years John, her sons Chris (Liana), Dan (Giselle), her daughter Kate (Keith) and her son Paul (Krista), eight grandchildren (Monica, Natalie, Juliet, Frances, Carly, Claire, Jack and Phoebe and great grandson Michael) and her beloved sister Ruth. Penny was a teacher, an accomplished mother and a generous volunteer. She lived a life full of love and generosity and she was surrounded by her family in her last days. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.kearneyfs.com Flowers are gratefully declined. Should you wish to do so, the family would encourage a donation to one of her favourite charities or to one of yours. Hers included: Avalon Women's Centre in West Vancouver, St. Clement's School or Trinity College U of T, both in Toronto. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Friday June 28, 2013 at 11am at Holy Trinity Church, 2725 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver BC., V7N 3J2. Mass will be followed immediately by a reception in the church hall.
