Penny June Panetta, age 60, passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, May 28, 2019. She was born June 4, 1958, in Lansing, MI to Charles and Virgiline (Weller) Panetta. She was a 1976 graduate of Sexton High School. She attended Career Quest, graduated a member of the President’s list, as Registered Medical Assistant.
Penny was a true professional that loved to explore different opportunities from personal trainer and merchandiser to kindergarten aide. Penny especially cherished her time volunteering with Hospice of Lansing, giving her some lasting memories. She never took life to seriously, always finding the humor in every situation. Humor created an unbreakable bond between Penny and her son, Jason. She was a creative soul that lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; spending time with family and friends, a good patio, yoga, meditation, and creating beautiful art.
She is survived by her loving son, Jason R. Knick; Brothers Ronald (Teresa) Panetta and David E. Panetta; Sisters Theresa C. Panetta and Karen S. (Panetta) Eckman and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. A celebration of life is being planned for the coming weeks. The family is being served by Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes of Lansing, MI.
