Gwendalyne Penner

Oct.14, 1942 - Jan. 12, 2022

It is with great sadness and sorrow, that the family of Gwen Penner announce her passing at the Prince George Hospice House Facility with family present. Gwen had previously suffered a stroke after the death of the love of her life; Doug Jacobson and was recovering at home and getting stronger each day with the goal, (set by herself), of returning to the links at the Aspen Grove Golf Course. She is survived by her sons; Doug, Mike (Karen). Daughters; Tannis and Michelle (Neil}, Grand-children; Randy (Jessica), Ryan, Andrew, Shayleen, and Michael, Great Grandchildren; Avery and Kinsley. As a long time resident of Prince George, Gwen was a Nurse and Paramedic, worked Security and Industrial First Aid at a local pulp mill and retired after many years of dedication and service. She enjoyed camping and fishing trips, far and wide (her words). She loved Baseball and played in local tournaments, discovered her joy for Golf (with Dad) and made many close friends. She spent her winters with Dad playing golf and going for long walks and biking trips at and nearby the Westwind Golf Resort in Yuma, Arizona.

The family would like to thank the people of the local health authority for her at-home care as she worked hard in her recovery and the loving and compassionate care Gwen received at the Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society. Special thanks to her neighbors who would check in on her and look after her yard-work. Extra-special thanks and the family’s gratitude to Carol Mclean, for being Gwen’s ‘rock’ with her assistance and support for Gwen over the last year.
