Penny attended Cherokee, Monroe and McLain schools and kept up many friendships from her school days. She married Charley L. Boren on September 19, 1960 in Miami, Oklahoma. Through her marriage she gained a daughter, Barbara, and later the couple was blessed with 3 more children: Charles, Kevin and Ron. They lived in Turley and later Skiatook and Penny worked as a cook for Tulsa Public Schools. She held other small jobs over the course of her life but her most important job was as a homemaker and mother to her children.
She enjoyed couponing, going to garage sales, watching re-runs of Gunsmoke, reading John Grisham novels and Dwight Yoakam. Penny loved to eat crappie, especially when it was caught by her father.
