Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (10:42): ALP life member Penny Williams sadly passed away on 15 ‍July, turning 85 years old on that day. I admired Penny’s strength, her courage and her resilience and appreciated her support. Penny worked on election campaigns dating back to the 1970s. I attended the celebration of Penny’s life on Monday, and it was no surprise to see so many people who knew her, including the Girl Guides, the Probus club, workmates and friends. But what struck me most were the beautiful, heartfelt memories from her husband Ian, children Jo and Elaine and granddaughters Isla, Ava, Lucinda and Ella. Vale, Penny Williams.
