PRESTON, Minn. — An Albert Lea woman accused of the fatal overdosing of her sister has made a plea deal that could reduce her prison time significantly. Jeanne Ellen Penhollow, 50, pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree murder as an accomplice. Her sister, Teresa Marie Conway, was found in a garage outside Chatfield in February 2021. An autopsy attributed death to the painkiller oxycodone pills that had been laced with fentanyl. Investigators said that the sister, who suffered major back pain, migraines and asthma, received the drugs from Penhollow. Penhollow said she believed her source of the drugs was trustworthy. Sentencing was scheduled for February.
