Penny Lenore Funderburk Lusignan

Penny Lenore Funderburk Lusignan was born Dec 4, 1953 in Ozona, TX and passed into the arms of Jesus on Feb 2, 2025. Penny grew up tagging behind her two older brothers, Marc and Steve, building forts, riding bicycles and having every kind of adventure. Her favorite times were the summers spent on the family farm in North Dakota. For the rest of her life, she, Marc and Steve would reminisce about those times and laugh about their childhood escapades whenever they were together. Penny graduated from O. Perry Walker High School and attended LSU and University of Holy Cross. Penny married Stanley Lusignan in 1974 and they had one son, Lester Lusignan. She was a wonderful mother and never missed any of Lester’s baseball games or violin concerts. They always enjoyed traveling together to other cities to watch professional baseball games. Penny worked as a bookkeeper and was treasurer of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church for over 20 years. She enjoyed gardening, cross stitch, cooking (oh, could she cook!), having lunch with high school friends and traveling. She visited So. Africa, Mexico, Europe, Canada and most of the United States, usually traveling with one or both of her brothers and their wives. In 2024, her dream of becoming a grandmother came to fruition with the birth of Robert Joseph Lusignan. He was the apple of her eye as she became “Cookie” to him. Penny was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She is remembered by her son, Lester Joseph Lusignan, wife, Jill and son, Bobby; brother, Marc Funderburk and wife, Marilyn; brother, Steven Funderburk and wife, Kathi, Steven Lusignan; goddaughter Katie Funderburk Werner; many cousins, nieces and nephews and many, many friends. The world has lost a precious soul. Penny’s Memorial Service will be held at St Stephen’s Lutheran Church, 6336 Berkeley Dr., New Orleans, Saturday, February 22 at 11:00 a.m. Memorials may be sent to Louisiana SPCA at give.louisianaaspca.org or Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America at aafa.org.
