“Allow the light and the healing presence of Christ to shine brightly through your lives. In that way, all those who come in contact with you will discover the loving kindness of God.”

-St. Pope John Paul II

Penny L. Stadler,82, of West Richland, WA passed away on March 13, 2026, after over years of carrying the cross of several serious medical conditions. She was born on June 28, 1943, in Seattle, WA. She is preceded in death by loved ones she deeply missed and believed would greet her in heaven.

Penny’s love was unconditional, anyone and everyone felt her love. Penny was not only a beautiful woman to look at but was as beautiful a woman inside, only seeing the good in everyone and in life.

Penny was a devoted daughter, sibling, friend, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and ALL loved her so much…

Penny’s go-to phrase was, “I’m fine”, even when one could see she wasn’t. She didn’t want to concern anyone and would prefer to keep any discomfort/pain to herself. She wasn’t a fan of doctor’s appointments or hospitals, but would trust that the visit was in her best interest, and would often say “can we go home now?”

Words cannot express what an incredible soul Penny shared with ALL of us and how much she will be missed.

Penny found solace in trusting God in all things, and I pray we all will try to follow in her amazing belief.

Contributions in her memory may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in lieu of flowers.

Let us remember the past with gratitude, live the present with compassion, and look forward to the future with love.
