Pennie Lynn (Lagle) Bartlett, age 55, of Rockport, IN, passed away peacefully Sunday, April 5, 2026, surrounded by family.
Pennie was born May 26, 1970, in Evansville, IN, to Dannie and Donna (Harberson) Lagle. She graduated from Castle High School in 1988. Pennie loved spending time with her family and raising her children. She proudly owned Miss Pennie’s Child Care for many years, where she touched many lives. Pennie adored her grandchildren, she was affectionately known as “MiMi” and “Momma Pennie”. She was an avid IU basketball fan. Pennie also loved vacationing to the beach. She enjoyed feeding the deer in her backyard, her wiener dogs, game nights, especially playing ‘What’s That Meme’, sleepovers with her Mommy, camping, Disney movies, and lazy Sunday snuggles. Pennie was a social butterfly who never met a stranger.
