Penny Whitehead
1942-2025

She glowed.  Ms. Penny Whitehead, 1942-2025 has been partying with the angels for a year now.  She would be as openhearted, kindly,

accommodating, charming, delightful and loving with the angels as she was with all us earth bound critters she adored.  With that head

full of fluffy curls, framing absolutely engaged aware eyes, that she shared with us in Humboldt for decades.  She came with Wyoming grit.

She didn’t cotton to foolishment.  She relished and made gourmet level meals…she stayed in awe of being alive.  She walked with class, grace

and an open heart…She was in love with the earth, grounded and magnetized by Humboldts unique offerings.

She loved her family, she loved her community, she loved all animals, four legs or two.  Many humans and critters were blessed and expanded

by engaging with her.  She was a writer, a photographer, a thinker, welcoming all of us into her love of life.  She was manager of Scotia Inn Pub

for years, making new friends from around the world….shining her light.

She blessed us all with her joyous perceptions of being human.  We are all richer for having been included in her sphere.  “Oh let us move on,

like a wind…blowing through the sun”.  Glow on you beautiful diamond.  We love you so very much Penny, you are always in our hearts….
