Penny Gayle Medlock Sides 59, of Southaven, MS passed away on April 7, 2021 after a year-long battle with lung cancer, where a host of God’s angels welcomed her to her eternal home and she was reunited with her parents. During her last moments on earth, she was surrounded by her children and sister.
She was born to the late Curtis Taft Medlock and Charlene Dry Medlock on January 10, 1962 in Memphis, TN.
Penny is survived by her children: Stanley Johnson, Jessica Johnson, Chelsea Sides, McKenzie Sides, Chasity Sides, and Alicia Sides, by her grandchildren: Peyton, Cade, Carson, Kamryn, & Curren. Penny was the youngest sister to Tracy Shree Medlock Reeves, Janet Lynn Medlock Fox (Jan), and Daniel Hugh Medlock (Danny). She will be fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews.
Just as she dealt with all experiences in life, Penny managed her illness with strength and grace.
Penny treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She always wanted to bring everyone together and welcomed all.
