Penny Lee Martin Schomber-Ferguson was born October 27, 1948, in Beloit, Wisconsin. She passed away at the age of 76, after living a full and adventurous life. She had recently moved to Ingram, Texas, where she lived for the past five months, after many years in Odessa. She and her husband were full-time RVer’s; they died together in the Kerr County flood on July 4, 2025, while doing what they loved.

Penny worked as a computer data entry for various companies over the years as an independent contractor. She knew how to enjoy the little moments and was very social – she enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine by the fire pit. She had lots of friends and was always gathering everyone together. She truly enjoyed fishing and boating.

She was the baby of ten kids born to Buford & Blanch Martin, and was preceded in death by eight of her siblings.
Survivors include her children, Roger Schomber of Colorado, Rachael Lynn of San Antonio, and Ryan Schomber of Spanaway, Washington; stepchildren, Raymond Ferguson of Odessa, Jennifer Ferguson Lucas (Lonnie) of Odessa, and Michael Frederick of Neches; sister, Pam Pier; grandchildren, Kaylee Lynn, Hayden Lynn, Cassandra Schomber, Trenton Ferguson, Lonnie Dale Lucas II, Autumn Ferguson Orenday, and Lauren Lucas; great-grandchildren, Nathaniel, Rayden, Micah, and Ronin; and great-granddaughter, Isabella Elise, on the way, and many other extended family members and friends.

Pallbearers will be family, including her son, Roger Schomber and Ryan Schomber.
