Penny Bedore

Written by her daughter Kathleen Bedore Bideaux

Throughout my life, my mom never settled for mediocrity. She expected my best but also gave me everything I needed to meet her high standards — her love, patience, encouragement, and endless support. Thanks to her unwavering belief in me, I grew into someone who reaches for excellence, not because I have to, but because I know what’s possible. She was my first and greatest teacher, and her lessons live in me every day.
