Penny Crane Tributes
"A woman unafraid to be warm, laid back, friendly, and always ready for fun. She understood the importance of this for her life and as the heart of user services and SIGUCCS. I would describe her as the perfect matriarch of SIGUCCS." - Diane Jung, Indiana University
"As for most people who knew Penny, she was a mentor. She was a model for me as to how to work with volunteers. She provided the warm, welcoming atmosphere so that everyone felt that they could contribute. Penny believed that there were opportunities for everyone to get involved; just need to find the right job to do! And, Penny understood that with volunteers one has to give people the latitude to bring their own methods of doing things forward. This is one of the things that makes SIGUCCS so valuable, and it is a direct result of Penny's way!" - Jennifer Fajman
"I noticed the announcement of Penny Crane's passing on the list, and am saddened by the loss. Though I really only met Penny the one time in San Diego, she made quite an impression, and I've always remembered her fondly. A remarkable woman." - Chris Hoover, University of South Dakota
