August 31, 1990 – October 27, 2024

After decades of struggles with acute enduring anorexia nervosa and numerous surgeries, Sloane Pennington’s burdens have been lifted.

Sloane was born in Colorado but spent most of her growing-up years in the Applegate Valley. She was a guiding force behind opening the bakery at Pennington Farms and all the growers’ markets that Pennington Farms participated in for decades.

She attended the Academy of Couture Art in Beverly Hills and worked for over a decade with fashion designers Badgley Mischka in Beverly Hills, California, and New York City. After a good dose of city life, she returned to the valley and worked with the Pennington family farm, Red Lily Vineyards, and the Neuman Group, then moved to Portland, where she worked with Banana Republic.

Besides Sloane’s love of her family and friends, her love for art remained her passion. Her works are in many galleries and her love shines through those pieces. While she is safely tucked in Heaven, we know her light continues to shine all around us.

Sloane is survived by her parents, Sam and Cathy Pennington; her sisters, Jaclyn Staunton and Tatum Lipin; her brothers, Sam and Max Pennington.

A Celebration of Life is planned for April 16, 11am, at Red Lily Vineyards. In lieu of flowers, donations to Options for Southern Oregon or to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Southern Oregon would be greatly appreciated.
