Penelope Eileen Pawling Chinik passed away on Saturday, August 28, 2021 after a brief battle with cancer. She was born October 17, 1942 in Queens, NY to the late John and Georgina Pawling. Penny grew up on Long Island, NY and graduated from Alfred University. She was a court reporter in Athens, GA, San Antonio, TX and later in Boone, NC.

She was an active member of Flowery Branch United Methodist Church and held many positions including Chair of the Board of Trustees. She also belonged to the Garden Club of Gainesville and the Lake Lanier Sailing Club. Penny loved the Lord, her family and her friends.
