Ms. Pennell was born Feb. 19, 1984, in Gravette, Ark., to Renee (Higgins) and Carl Pennell. She grew up and went to school in Greenfield until the family moved to Lamar. She graduated from Lamar High School in 2002. While attending Lamar High School she completed her CNA training with Lorraine Potter. She worked as a CNA at several area nursing homes including Truman Health and Rehab, St. Luke’s Nursing Center, Sarcoxie Nursing Center and Spring River Christian Village. She continued working until she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was a loving woman who was always doing for others. She enjoyed going out to eat, going to the movies, and, as her mom lovingly said, “that girl could shop”.
