Help Heather Penwell's Grieving Family

On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, the Licking Heights Bus Garage in Pataskala, Ohio woke to the devastating news that their co-worker Heather Penwell did not show up to work due to passing away over night.

Heather was a loving and dedicated mother to three young children and her husband's best friend. She was an amazing friend and brought laughter and joy to all those around her.

She has recently been serving as a School Bus Driver at Licking Heights Local School District and loved her job and co-workers.

With a limited income, Heather's husband Dustin, is now tasked with raising their children alone. We are attempting to help defray the cost of the funeral and any immediate upcoming costs the family might need moving forward through this tragedy. We would be honored to have you join us in supporting this grieving family!
