The daughter of Earl and Flossie Penny, Kildare, she was born March 4, 1916

Her father's family came from Europe and had roots in Arkansas before moving 
to Oklahoma. 

Her maternal ancestors (Gifford) came to America from England just before the 
War of 1812 and her earliest American relative was an Admiral in the U.S. 
Navy in that war. 

She attended Ponca City High School and worked at the Kress Store in downtown 
Ponca City prior to her marriage. 

She later helped her husband in carrying mail between Tulsa and Ponca City.

She married Glen M. Williams on June 12, 1938 at the United Methodist Church 
in Kildare. They met in the grocery store in Kildare shortly after she moved 
with her family from Arkansas around 1936. They celebrated their 60th wedding 
anniversary before Mr. Williams' death June 17, 1998.

Lawrence, Kansas; and three brothers, Lawrence, John, and Bud Penny.

In addition to her husband Glen, she was preceded in death by her parents; 
two brothers, Marlin Penny and Claude Penny; and one sister, Juanita Stolhand.

The funeral was held at 1:30 pm Sunday, June 20, 1999, in the Miller-Stahl 
Funeral Chapel with the Rev. Larry Heslip of the First Baptist Church, 
Ponca City, officiating.

of Mrs.Williams' favorite songs.
