Penny was born in Philadelphia, on January 21, 1922, the daughter of Nelson and Esther Johnson-World. She met a young man named Albert Schuck, and when he was able to return after serving honorably in the military, he came back to this young woman who he felt destined to be with. On August 29, 1948, they were married and she was blessed to spend over 69 years with the love of her life. They lived in Philadelphia where she was blessed to be a homemaker and care for her family. They moved to the Southeastern United States in 1998 and then to Charlotte ten years ago. She was a true matriarch, proud of her family. Penny loved music and dancing, loves she passed onto her family. She also had lifelong friends that she loved to spend time with, specifically Mrs. Frances Bundy and Mrs. Ruth Frame. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Penny is survived by three children: Penny Cherry Schuck of Matthews, NC, Paula Allison Schuck and her daughter Morgan Nicole Schuck, both of Matthews, NC, and a son, Albert Allen Schuck Jr of Lexington, SC; a daughter she raised as her own, Adrienne Jeanette Kearney of Philadelphia and her son Nathaniel Wendell Price; and a son she raised as her own, Clemente Salley. Penny is further survived by numerous other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Albert, in 2015. In honor of his service to his country, Albert was buried at the Salisbury National Cemetery with military honors. Now, Penny will join him in their final place of earthly rest. Committal services will be held at 11 AM on Friday, January 5, 2018. Penny’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for them during this time.
