Penny Sue Harness, age 51 of Laurel Grove (Briceville, TN) took her heavenly flight on April 4, 2021. She fought courageously for so long and God saw her struggle and welcomed her home. In her final hours she was surrounded by her children, her most beloved treasure, her granddaughter, family and friends. She gained her heavenly wings at 10:46 am at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

She is preceded in death by her two biggest heroes, her parents Daniel Eugene Poore and Reba Poore of Laurel Grove.

Penny loved travelling with her sister and her granddaughter and nieces taking cruises, visiting the beach and mountains.

She will be missed by all those who loved her.
