Age 35 of Newport, formerly of Oakdale, Minnesota.
Preceded in death by grandparents and great grandparents. Survived by loving husband, Mike; parents, Kevin and Beverly Eide; in-laws, Larry and Ruth Hermann; brother-in-law, Alex (Jillian) Hermann, and many family members & friends.
Penny could often be found playing with her dogs, Mini & Tinkerbell; she had a knack for finding the perfect hats, sweaters & boots for them, as they were her cherished pets. When not playing with her dogs, Penny could be found doing crafts- anything pink, camo, or with glitter was her jam. Time spent listening to music, watching movies, going camping and sitting around a campfire with Mike & friends always made her smile.
Penny was most happy when she was with family and she had blossomed into an amazing caregiver, always ensuring that those around her were well cared for, especially her aunts & uncles. With her gentle spirit, kind & bubbly personality, children would gravitate to Penny & she adored being around them.
Penny loved MN and it’s 4 seasons, summer being her favorite as she could wear her flip-flops, camp, fish and be outdoors with her dogs. Second favorite season of the year was football season, where you would find Penny supporting her favorite team, the Green Bay Packers.
