Artist Penny McAllister Passes Away
Cannon Falls, MN – Midwest-CBK sadly announces that licensed artist Penny McAllister passed away at the age of 56 on Friday, March 26, 2010, at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, after battling cancer.
McAllister began sharing her spirit, creativity and beloved, trademark folk art-inspired characters with Midwest-CBK customers more than seven years ago. She began what she called her “dream occupation” as a licensed artist with Midwest-CBK after serving as an elementary school librarian for more than 20 years.
“We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the McAllister family during this time,” says Frederic Contino, Midwest President. “Penny’s enthusiasm, wit and creativity will be missed by many, but will live on in her whimsical, endearing characters and designs.”
A memorial service and reception will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6, 2010, at Christ Episcopal Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The family requests no flowers.
