I have very fond memories of going to the Robertson household back in Jr. High and High school. The warmth and beauty of the house on the hill was a reflection of Pennie's heart, a classy one of a kind. Pennie was always inquisitive and welcoming, and often had delicious fresh baked goods... and rules! I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed her rally a discussion or two around the infamous Robertson dinner table.
I've always been delighted to see her through the years. I will think of her every summer when I use the antique tomato serving spoon she gave me as a gift many years ago.
Condolences to her family. I know she'll be dearly missed.
My heart goes out to the family. I was lucky to spend time with Pennie during her visits to Australia, and she always brought such warmth and grace with her. It was clear how deeply she valued home and family, and how those qualities live on in her children. May her beautiful spirit remain close to you all, now and always ❤️
Dear Robertson Family,
On behalf of my family, please accept our condolences in the passing of your dear Pennie. She was an extraordinarily kind, generous, and fun person. We are so grateful for all the many happy memories she gave us. My mom treasured her friendship and loved staying in contact with Pennie and Gary over the many years. I wish you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

I was lucky enough to be connected to Pennie and the Robertsons at the age of 7. Growing up, to me she was always the epitome of glamour. I was in awe of her easy grace, poise, and her effortless and timeless style. One of my favourite Christmas memories was our trip to the USA in 2000. As a little Aussie girl of 10 the Christmas pageantry and cheer was like nothing I had ever imagined! Pennie and Gary always made sure to make me feel at home.
But it wasn’t until I made the trip back for Christmas 2017 that I really understood the love and connection of that time. It was an opportunity for me to connect with Pennie and the Robertsons as adults, a time where I felt so welcomed, loved and thought of. I will always remember both of these very special holidays.
The days after I heard of Pennie’s passing I happened upon a forgotten penny, a British one, in my new home in England. It was a reminder of the connections of love and family that transcend geographical borders. Thank you for that sweet reminder Pennie, I will cherish it always. Valé 🤍🤍🤍
Penny, a woman of grace, beauty and laughter. Hugs to all of you!
