Penelope Peckham Obituary
Oct 25, 1965 - Apr 1, 2024
Norwalk
Penelope J. "Penny" Peckham, 58, of Norwalk, passed away peacefully Monday morning, April 1, 2024, at home.
She was born Oct. 25, 1965, in Amherst, to Joyce (Haynes) White and Willie Reagan. She graduated from Edison High School in 1984.
Penny was loving, generous, charitable, and feisty. She had a huge heart and wonderful smile. She loved animals and long walks with her dog, and shined in opportunities to help others. Her character was most evident in times of trouble. After her cancer diagnosis and several other medical setbacks, she responded with strength and a smile. Penny was also creative, crafty, and undeniably caring.
She will be fondly remembered and forever missed by her loving companion, Doug Sprowles; his mother, Mary Sharfenberg; Penny's mother, Joyce (Haynes) White; Penny's children, Christy (Keith) Fox of Wellington and Thomas Peckham of Norwalk; siblings, Cathi (James) Twaddle, Dave (Chris) White, Denis White, Samantha Wright, Tarry (Vikki) White, Barry (Denise) White, Willie Reagan II, Thomas (Monica) White, and Shawn (Kaci) White; many, many nieces and nephews; and several cousins.
Penny was preceded in death by her birth father, Willie Reagan; and stepfather, David White.
Visitation will be 2 p.m. Friday, April 5, 2024, until the time of Penny's service at 4 p.m. at Walker-Eastman-Heydinger Funeral Home, 98 W. Main St., Norwalk.
Out of Penny's love for animals in need, memorial contributions may be directed to Huron County Humane Society, 246 Woodlawn Ave., Norwalk, Ohio, 44857.
