Penne Quintini

Quintini, Penne , 75 years young, of Brentwood, TN, died peacefully on December 18, 2018.

Penne grew up in Illinois and Indiana. After attending Indiana State University, Penne followed her oldest sister to New York City to study fashion & merchandizing. She began her career as a buyer on the designer floor of Lord and Taylor in the 1960s. After 30+ years, Penne closed out her career in the Customer Service department at Macy’s in Cool Springs.

Her career and family life took her to live not only in New York; she called the states of Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Indiana her home, with the last 26 years in Nashville, Tennessee. Penne loved to travel, spending holidays with her daughter in San Diego, California.

Among her hobbies and charity, Penne was an avid supporter of the local library, and was a member of the Prayer Shawl Knitting Ministry at Brentwood United Methodist Church. She was the designated baker for all family birthdays and holidays. Her beautiful cross-stitch and needlepoint work adorns the walls of every family member’s home.

She is survived by her daughter, Kathe Palmucci of San Diego, California; her sister, Judi Shanks of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; and several nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. One of her greatest joys was her grand-dog named Fernando, a Jack-Chi. She took long walks on the beaches of San Diego with him every winter.

Penne was the daughter of the late, J.B. “Tiny” and Mary Horton of Terre Haute, Indiana. Her sister, Jan Horton, recently preceded her in death in December 2017.

Funeral services will be held 10am on Wednesday, January 2nd at Brentwood United Methodist Church, 309 Franklin Road, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, PO Box 1893, Memphis, TN 38101-9950, stjude.org.
