Penny was proudly the tomboy "son" her Dad never had and often shared fond memories of "working" with her Daddy when she was a little girl at the family business.  

Penny attended Lakeland High School and graduated from cosmetology school in Bartow, Florida, and passed the Florida Cosmetology Board Professional licensing exam in 1977. She worked for more than ten years as a hairdresser at the Lake Parker Mall at Regis Beauty Salon. In 1987, Penny met and became the best of friends with Mike Green, a carpenter who owned a small Lakeland construction company and Penny began working for Mike doing construction work. Mike often fondly speaks of Penny as the "best worker he ever had." Ultimately Mike and Penny fell in love and were married for 30 years and had two children.     

In later years, Penny worked for Gunder's Paint & Body Shop and became lifelong friends with Raymond and Deenie Gunder. Penny also worked for Semco Fire Restorations in Bartow; and, also worked part time for Florida Water Lily Aquatics Plants Nursery.    

Penny was predeceased by her parents, and her adopted sister, Teresa Rogers. She is survived by her husband, Michael Henry Green; daughter, Leah Green; son, Dillon Green; grandson,, D.J. Foster and granddaughter, Ava Sharp; sister, Lynn Jenkins Dooley; two other sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews. Penny especially loved the Green family and especially loved attending the annual Green family reunions.  

Penny's heart was always filled with peace, love, and happiness and she was a loud mouth who had a southern Alabama accent and everyone she met was her instant friend. To say she was friendly is an understatement, Penny Green gave much love and everyone loved her.

Penny loved to bass fish; playpool; darts; and loved playing the dice game Roll Out with her friends.  

Until we meet again on the other side, Penny Green, we miss you and love you so much.
