Penny Bruvall March 25, 1944 - November 12, 2024

Penelope (Penny) Bruvall, née Wigle, passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on November 12, 2024.

Family meant everything to Mom, and she was the heart and soul of ours.

We will cherish the many memories of her hosting Sunday roast beef suppers and holiday family gatherings with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins while we were growing up.

Her grandchildren, along with great-nieces and nephews, enjoyed swimming, campfires, fishing, and sleepovers with Mom and Dad while they spent summers camping at Aaron Park.

Mom eagerly attended any event involving family—many hockey tournaments, baseball tournaments, karate classes, gymnastics, or horse events—cheering and bragging about whomever was involved.

Her great-granddaughters, London and Delilah, were the apples of her eye. She recently told us that her favorite day of the week was Tuesday, as she always got to see Delilah.

Mom will be greatly missed by daughters Lisa (Ed) Smith and Michelyn (Neil) Hagen; grandchildren Kevin Engel, Samantha (Bryce) Hron, Joshua (Taelor) Smith, Shae Hagen, and Chantel MacDonald; great-grandchildren London Engel, Delilah Hron, Charleigh McGarrity, and Casey Neimi. She is also survived by her brother, Casey (Laura) Wigle; sisters-in-law Patty Wigle and Leon Boucha; and brother-in-law Thomas Bruvall, along with many nieces, nephews, and special friends.

“Where Am I Now

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

Say, could that lass be I?

Merry of soul she sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

Billow and breeze, islands and seas

Mountains of rain and sun

All that was good, all that was fair

All that was me is gone.”

 

There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place.

A Private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
