Penny Loved working with people as a Dallas fashion model, a tanning salon owner, a disc jockey and as the lead actress on the Granbury Rose paddle wheel boat “Murder Mystery Play.” She and Buddy created “Truly Texas Productions,” a western reenactment group entertaining throughout Texas and New Mexico. She loved her church. Triple Cross Cowboy Church and the Harpers organized several inaugural events on behalf of the church.

Her pride and joy were her six grandchildren: Tatum Carter, Quinn Carter, Ethan Adams, Macy Adams, Siddalea Carter and Ayurum Carter. Also, several brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews.
