Penny Gardner considers herself the quintessential Jersey Girl who went to high school with Jon Bon Jovi, got her master’s at Rutgers, worked for the State, and vacations “down the Shore.” She enjoyed singing and performing from her youth into college, before putting it aside for more serious, grown-up pursuits. After several decades managing public information programs for the NJ Legislature, Penny retired in 2023 and is now joyfully singing again both with the Hopewell Valley Chorus and the Princeton Britpop Choir. She is active in community programs including volunteer tax preparation, several book groups, serving as an ESL tutor, playing bridge and leading monthly discussion groups. Penny lives in Titusville with her husband and two pampered cats.
