Before Penny was married she worked 3 years at KNI (Kansas Neurological Institute) in Topeka, KS with mentally handicapped individuals.
Penny and her husband Gary were over the road owner operator's for 22 years. They both drove and their semi was leased to P.F T. Roberson out of Farmer City, Illinois.
They owned their own semi flatbed trailer and they both received their "million mile " awards for having "NO Accidents".
Penny worked 11 yrs as an CNA, night shift, at the Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Atwood, KS where one mentally handicapped resident lived. In 2004, Penny started her job as a DSP and CMA for DSNWK. She has worked 8 years at the house on Plumb Street, Atwood, Ks, where 8 mentally handicapped consumers live.

On the 25th of January, they had her retirement Party at the PDC Center in Atwood, Kansas. One of her men summed it up nicely when she asked him if he knew what "retirement " meant. He said " Go to Bed !!! "
Penny plans to help her husband, Gary, farm and do some traveling . They live in McDonald, Kansas ( N.W. KS ) and her husband is now Mayor .
On Penny's facebook page, Jan. 25, 2012, she posted . . . .
"Just got home from my retirement party !!! It was the best ever !!!
