Meet Penny — Your Pennswood Guide

Penny is 78 and lives in a bright one-bedroom apartment overlooking the Gazebo courtyard at Pennswood Village. She grew up in Pennington, NJ, attended The Pennington School, and went on to Princeton University before beginning her career in education and nonprofit work. She has one daughter and three grandchildren who live nearby. After a career in education and nonprofit work, she chose Pennswood to stay engaged, connected, and close to her daughter and grandchildren who live nearby.
She enjoys morning walks through the Meadows with her dog, singing with the Pennswood Singers, attending campus events, and spending time in the Community Building, which feels like an extension of her home. Penny loves the balance Pennswood offers—full days of activity and connection, with a peaceful apartment to return to at night.
She moved for the life enrichment programs, but her daughter jokes she stayed for the pool, the gardens, and the desserts.
