Penny Ann (Rossman) Grundman, 75, passed away on March 6, 2025, in Waupaca, Wisconsin.
Born on May 15, 1949, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Penny dedicated her life to her family, faith, and community. She retired from the Weyauwega-Fremont School District working both in the cafeteria and as a custodian. She loved her job and took great joy in seeing all the kids each day. Her warm presence and kindness left a lasting impact on those she encountered.
Penny's faith was central to her life. She loved the Lord with all her heart and made it a priority to teach her children and grandchildren about God. Her unwavering devotion was evident in the way she lived-always with love, kindness, and an open heart for those around her.
She was known for her infectious laughter and positive personality. A devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Penny cherished time spent with loved ones. She found happiness in sunshine-filled days and treasured moments with her many friends. Her beloved dog Buddy was always by her side, bringing her additional joy and companionship.
Penny is survived by her daughter Terresa Lider; stepsons: Chris (Mae) Grundman and Marko Grundman; grandchildren: Alyssa and Blake Lider, January Jewel and Avril Arella Grundman, and Garrett Grundman; sister: Sharon Krueger; brother: William Rossman; as well as many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Betty Rossman, her brother Scott Rossman, and former husband, Steve Grundman.
Penny's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May the warmth of her spirit continue to bring comfort to all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
A special "thank you" to all the caregivers and staff at Bethany Home of Waupaca.
