PENELOPE THE GOLDFISH, a lifelong Shelton resident, died Tuesday, March 25 at her home in White Hills — a glass vase on the center island in the kitchen. She was seven months old. She died of natural causes (or maybe a bad water change done Sunday).
Born in August 2002, she was won by Kara at the St. Lawrence carnival at a ring-toss game. She enjoyed eating (alot), spending time with Grandma, playing with her gold-colored marbles at the bottom of her bowl, and swimming fast and furiously.
In addition to Kara and Grandma, she is survived by Heath the betta, Ruffles the Bichon Frise, and Mom and Dad. She is also survived by fellow carnival goldfish Pasqualli of Stamford.
Burial was private, Tuesday morning at 8:15 in Grandma's bathroom.
In lieu of flowers, please adopt a carnival goldfish in honor of Penelope.
