Patricia “Patty” B. Penick, 81, of Russellville, passed away Monday, Nov. 1, 2021 at Creekwood Nursing and Rehab in Russellville. She was a Logan County native, born May 29, 1940 to the late Davis Caldwell Burchett and Gladys Rebecca Prince Burchett. She was a bookkeeper for Burchett Electric and member of First Baptist Church. She was a volunteer at Logan Memorial Hospital.
She was an amazing mother, grandmother and friend who will be greatly missed by many. She was known to most as Gran-Gran and she carried the name well. She was a believer and she enjoyed worshiping by singing in the church choir. She loved having family over for her famous roast and spending time with grandkids and great grandkids. She also loved many animals but none of them compare to the love she had for Sassy Cole. She was an avid UK basketball sports fan and loved to cheer them on every chance she could.
She is survived by her daughter, Kay Meade and husband Jeff of Russellville; her son, James “Jimmy” Penick Jr. of Bowling Green; her grandchildren, Brittany Edwards and William Pedigo of Scottsville, Zack Edwards of Owensboro and Hunter Mead of Lexington, Va.; and her great-grandchildren, Zane, Brooklyn, Micah, Gavin and Kenzleigh; and her great-granddog, Leo.
