PAUL - Penny L. Kindig, age 77, of Paul, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2015, at St. Lukes Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Twin Falls.

Penny was born in Hamilton, Mont., the daughter of James Dorman and Ruby (Crandall) Mills. She grew up in California and graduated from Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, Calif. Penny attended Contra Costa Jr. College, where she graduated as a dental assistant. She met her husband and love of her life, Ron Kindig, at Frys Food Store in Concord, where he was the store manager.
