On April 3, 2019 just eighty-two short days after being diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer, Pennie Louise Stagnaro, while resting peacefully in her home in North Platte, NE took her last breath surrounded by loved ones.

Her life will forever be cherished by the family she leaves behind, her children, Melissa Mariscal (Mondo) and Aaric Wall (Becca); grandchildren, Mikayla, Micah, Bennit and Alissa all of Stockton, CA. Pennie had many friends and considered them family and leaves behind many from all over the country.

Pennie was born in Stockton, CA on Oct. 11, 1956. She relocated to NE in 1991. Pennie wasn’t afraid to work hard, often working two jobs. She was a waitress for many years, a cook, owned a house keeping business, union laborer, welder’s helper and a construction purchasing foreman. She worked until the day of her diagnosis.

She found great joy in being outside with nature, and a member of the Sierra Club. She enjoyed swimming, traveling, antiquing and quilting. She often used her food and baked goods to show her love. She never met a stranger.

We know she is up in Heaven dancing pain free with Jesus to her favorite country western songs.
