On the Show[]
The only daughter of P. Baxter and Gordan Johnson, Penelope "Penny" Johnson is the grandmother of the Charmed Ones. After the death of her daughter, Patty, she scared off Patty's ex-husband, Victor Bennett, and raised her oldest three granddaughters, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe by herself. She had nothing to do with her youngest grandaughter, Paige Matthews upbringing, but she did know that she existed and helped Patty and Sam hide her existence.
She died in 1998, which allowed the girls to get back their powers that she had bound. Despite being dead, she showed up on occation to flip pages in the Book of Shadows, to help lead wiccanings, and sometimes just to offer advice.
