Penny lived in many places and was successful in many things. “We only hope she knows how much she was loved and how much she’ll be missed.” She is survived by her father, Edward O. Fairman of Forest Lakes and her brother, Jeff Fairman of Casa Grande. She was preceded in death by her mother, Phyllis Ann Fairman.
