Penelope Royce Wilson

Penelope Royce Richardson Wilson, age 66, passed away on Tuesday, May 24, 2011, at Baptist Regional Medical Center.

She is survived by her daughter, Heather Page Wilson-Egelston and son-in-law Todd of London; grandchildren, Paedric Royce Egelston and Penelope Angharad Egelston; sister-in-law, Artis Born and husband Bill of Corbin; niece, Kim Bowling and husband Jeff; nephews, Scott Richardson and wife Trish and Michael Born and wife Jenifer of Granada Hills, California; great-nephews, Blake Bowling and Dakota Richardson; great-nieces, Brierre Bowling, Paige Couch, and Alexandra Richardson; and special feline friends, Hallie and Dash.
