Obituary: Penny L. Meyer, 58, North Hornell & Wellsville native


Penny L. Meyer, 58, of 1 Willow St., North Hornell, NY died late Saturday evening (November 11, 2017) at her home, surrounded by her family following a long illness. Born in Wellsville, NY on February 10, 1959, she was the daughter of James & Marjorie (Mix) Stidd. Penny grew up in Perry, NY and attended Perry High School.  Throughout the years she resided in many locations, including Perry, NY, Galion, OH, Tucson, AZ, Hornell, NY, and has resided in North Hornell for the past 18 years.
For many years, Penny was employed as a waitress at several restaurants.  She was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and attended Meetings at the Kingdom Hall where she enjoyed studying the Bible and listening to Bible based talks.  She enjoyed sewing, crochet and home decorating.   Penny’s greatest joy, however, was simply spending time with her family --- especially her children and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father, James “Jim” Stidd.
