Brenner Fund

Florence Brenner, who is most often known as Peg, came to Tell City with her husband Howard, who was President of Tell City National Bank at the time and a native of Tell City.

Peg was a sincerely community-minded person.  She was very active in philanthropic ventures with St. Paul’s Catholic Church, a member of Tri Kappa and very supportive of many other community organizations.  People that know her often describe her as a "real lady" and an asset to the community.

She was a kind, gentle, and caring person who loved to read.  Peg frequented the Tell City-Perry County Public Library. The library gave her so much and provided for her love of reading.  She also thought it was well-ran and an asset to the community.

In 1996, Peg decided to set up a fund in the Community Foundation to help support the library….forever. She knew the fund that she was able to create would only provide a little bit of help to the library, but that help would be every year.

Peg has since moved closer to her children and resides in Louisville, Kentucky.
