Subject: RE: Obit: Walking Eagle-Julie Pennell-October 3, 2004
I was searching for information on a couple of our late Mudcatters and visited the link above to Walking Eagle's obituary. It is no longer at that link, but after searching I found the transcript. I'll post it here so it is part of the record.




Julia Cameron Zeitz Pennell, 55, of Coatesville and formerly of Charleston, WV, died on Sunday, October 3, 2004 at Brandywine Hall in West Chester after a very long and courageous battle with cancer. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." II Timothy 4:7.

Julia was born in Charleston, WV on May 18, 1949, a graduate of Charleston High School and The Ohio University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She was a librarian at West Chester University Francis Harvey Green Library and a member of the Unitarian Fellowship of West Chester.

Julia is survived by her mother, Aggie Zeitz of Charleston, WV; her brother, Thomas E. Zeitz of Elkins, WV; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Wilbur E. Zeitz.

A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 9, 2004 at the Unitarian Fellowship of West Chester, 501 South High Street, West Chester, with the Rev. Larry Smith officiating.

Interment will be in the Sunset Memorial Park, South Charleston, WV.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the American Cancer Society, 1615 West Chester Pike, Suite 102, West Chester, PA 19382; or to the Neighborhood VNA and Hospice, 795 E. Marshall Street, Suite 204, West Chester, PA 19380.
