She worked with the Carteret County School system for 34 years, teaching at White Oak Elementary, Broad Creek Middle, Smyrna Elementary, Down East Middle, and Newport Middle Schools. She loved teaching and valued her students education. She especially had a heart for the students who struggled. While teaching, she also coached several sports, including softball, basketball, volleyball, and track and field. She was an assistant coach for the West Carteret High School girls basketball team the year they won the State Championship! In addition to coaching school sports, Penny coached and played with the Carteret County Womens Softball League for 20+ years. Many special memories were made with life long friends on ball fields from one end of the county to the other. There were a few other special loves in Pennys life. One was Duke basketball. She watched every game possible. Another love was her Yorkie, Ava, who could be found in Pennys lap, during those Duke games. Perhaps her biggest love was for her nieces, Riley and Reese. They thoroughly enjoyed spending time together, especially with sleepovers at Pen Pens. Penny was preceded in death by her grandparents, Viva and Elvin Piner and Hubert and Ida Boudreaux.
