Penny Zufall’s roots run deep in Owen County. She grew up and graduated from high school there in the 1960s during a time of nationwide cultural unrest. After spending some time in Bloomington and eventually retiring in 2005, she has settled back in Owen County and has discovered daily inspiration through her work as a volunteer for the Spencer Pride CommUnity Store. Penny describes the store as a “bridge of diversity” in Owen County. It is a place where anyone can come to shop, use the community space, access resources about the LGBT community, and make connections. It is a safe place for anyone in need. The space was designed to be welcoming – and Penny is the embodiment of that. She is a hugger. She is all emotion and warmth and one of the best things about any visit to the store. With her history in the community, she has become an ambassador for how the community and the community center can work together for everyone.
