Paul Gene Penn transitioned from earthly life to heaven, October 16, 2020, at the age of 91. Paul was the husband of Noreen Penn, and they had just recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
He is survived by his wife Noreen, and his four children, Cindy Potter and husband Eddie, Debbie Weinberger and husband Charlie, Timothy Penn and Thomas Penn, their four grandchildren, Carrie Immekus and husband Chad, Jonathan Potter and wife Lacey, Sara Potter and partner John Higdon, Eric Potter and wife Ashley, seven great-grandchildren and Paul’s sister Murl Moynihan.
Paul was born in Cape Girardeau Missouri on June 13, 1929, the youngest of nine children born to Edward and Carrie Penn. After serving in the U.S. Army in the Korean War, he attended Drury college in Springfield, MO and went on to work at the Paul Mueller Company for 40 years. He and Noreen were active members of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Paul served as President of the St. Vincent DePaul Society and was instrumental in starting the “Kitchen” with Sister Lorraine. He was also President of the I.C. Men’s Club and a long time Board Member of the Springfield Catholic Credit Union and was a 4th degree Knight of Columbus. He made the first Men’s Cursillo, held in the Springfield-Cape Girardeau diocese. He also had a mean golf game! So many special memories were formed at the cabin he built himself on Table Rock Lake, filling the foundation blocks with empty Budweiser cans with the help of his father-in-law Thomas Keohane.
Burial in Resurrection Cemetery. Masks were required.
