Obituary

Peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospice on Saturday, February 7th, 2026, surrounded by her loving family, Penny passed away at the age of 69.

Penny was a beloved mom to Tracy, David (Becky), Jeremy (Caitlin), and Deanna (Rod). She was the best sister to Pat (Walter) and a cherished sister-in-law to Sheryl. She was a loving Nan to Paige, Jacob, Lorna, Karmin, Jordan, Cody, Zackary, and Keci, and a devoted Great-Nan to Kingston, Zara, and Kiyan. Penny was a caring aunt to many nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. To those who knew her, Penny was mom to many, many people and best friend to all.

She was predeceased by her parents, Lorna and Gordon Bach; her brothers, Tom and Jerry (Merrilee); and her sister, Marj.

Penny was a keeper of family stories and connections. She had a deep love for crafting and creating, finding joy in making things by hand and filling her home with warmth and care. She had a special fondness for owls, often saying they were her spirit animal—symbols of her wisdom, watchfulness, and quiet strength. Family was always her focus, and her grandchildren were her greatest passion. She also had a love for gnomes, which brought her joy and smiles.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 990 Dearness Drive, London, Ontario, on Sunday, February 15th, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

A private interment will take place at a later date.
