Peggy “Penny” Joan (Lloyd) Scolaro of Cedar Rapids passed away on Monday, April 19th at Northbrook Manor Care Center following a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Penny loved country music.  She loved to sing and play guitar.  She played in a country music band for a short time.  She enjoyed baby-sitting and taking care of people. Penny was the life of every party and she lit up every room she walked into.  She never met a stranger and the world is a little less bright without her in it.

Special thanks go out to the staff at Northbrook Manor for making the last years of her life safe, happy & comfortable.
