Penn CPA. Mary was a longtime member of Lakeview Methodist Church. She said her greatest accomplishment in life: "To be the wife of Carey W. Penn was an honor and a privilege that I am grateful to have had. The only thing I ever really wanted in life was to be the best mother that I could to my children, and the best grandmother to their children." Anyone that knew our mother and grandmother knew she was a special, classy, selfless lady that showed love to everyone and was respected and loved by all that knew her. Mrs. Penn was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and three siblings, Melva Burnett, Selma Hinch, and Buster Winstead. She is survived by her four children, Karen Sue Dale (Raymond), Carey "Tuffy" Penn (Donna), Sherri Smith (John), and Mary "Candy" Penn; ten grandchildren, Misty Melton, Carl Dale, Adam and Casey Penn, Brandy O'Quinn, Alex Cole, Mary Katherine Smith, Christy Bennett, and Dylan Vaughn; and 11 great-grandchildren.
