AUBURN — Penny Lou Patenaude, 35, of Lisbon, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 22, surrounded by her family and close friends at the Hospice House after losing a courageous battle with breast cancer.

Penny was born on June 27, 1976, the daughter of Judy Hardy-Goddard and the late Alphie Patenaude. She was raised in Lisbon where she attended Lisbon schools, graduating from Lisbon High School to later attend community college for CNA/RN.
