Judith Penrod

Judith E. Penrod, 77, of New Philadelphia, passed away on Friday, February 9, 2024, in Community Hospice Truman House at New Philadelphia, following a period of declining health.

 Born in Fremont, Ohio on January 11, 1947, Judith was a daughter of the late Robert William and Donna Frances (Hampton) McKinney.  She was a 1965 graduate of Gibsonburg High School.

 Judith married Richard Penrod on November 25, 1967.  She “put up” with Richard for over 56 years of marriage.

 She was well known in the community by working at the former Gorant Candy for many years.  She also enjoyed reading, collecting bunnies, and traveling with Richard to Tennessee.  But her greatest joy was spending time with her kids and grandkids.

 Judith is survived by her husband, Richard; daughters, Renee (Troy) West of Dover, and Nicole Incarnato of Dover; grandchildren, Kaitlyn West, Brock West, Alyssa Incarnato, and Kaley Incarnato; sister, Betty Jerski of Gibsonburg, Ohio; and numerous nieces and nephews.

 She was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, June Ann Reese.

 Cremation care has been entrusted to Linn-Hert-Geib Funeral Home and Crematory.  The family is planning a private service at a later date.
