Many in our community knew Penny Palolo — though you may not have known her by name. To some, she was the “prayer lady,” the “breakfast bar lady,” or the one who handed out Pop-Tarts with a smile.
For years, Penny would leave her home each morning and walk through downtown Aberdeen, sharing simple acts of kindness. She carried Ziploc bags filled with a prayer or poem, along with a breakfast bar or Pop-Tart. She spoke with anyone, prayed with anyone, and made it her mission to remind people of one powerful truth: Jesus loves you — and so did she.
Penny had a deep love for the people of our community. She faithfully volunteered multiple days each week at the Three R’s Thrift Store and Food Bank, and she was a longtime member of the Hoquiam Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Because of her love for Grays Harbor and its people, we invite all who were touched by her kindness — or who simply want to honor a life of service and compassion — to attend her Memorial of Life.
