Miss Edna was a very special Lady! I so enjoyed hearing her play the piano as did so many. She made my heart Happy! My condolences

I loved Edna. She has such a special place in my heart. I lived across the street from her. My dad would get so upset with us because every time we came home from visiting her, we usually came home with a kitten. As I got older, I'd sit on our front porch and listen to her and the band. She will be greatly missed

Don I am so sorry for your loss. I only met your mother a few times but she was a lady who truly enjoyed life especially music. I do know you were a very good son and took very good care of your mother and loved her very much.

Mrs. Pennington was a wonderful part of my little part of Scott County. The Penningtons were great neighbors on Boatman Road and Zoah would not have been Zoah Church without Mrs. Pennington on the piano.
