I am saddened to report that Penny Banner passed away on Monday night at her daughter's home in North Carolina after a long battle with cancer. Penny is one of the legendary female figures in the wrestling business. Penny wrestled from 1954-1977. During her career, she won many regional titles and even dated Elvis Presley from 1956-1958. In 2004, she released her autobiography Banner Days. A little less than three months ago, her ex-husband Johnny Weaver passed away. Prior to their divorce, the couple had been married for 35 years.
