Velma M. Pennington
Having been lovingly surrounded by her family and friends, Velma M. Pennington went home to be with her Savior on March 2, 2013.
Velma will be remembered fondly by all who knew her. She had a spirit and love for life that were contagious. Her joy at hosting gatherings was only out matched by her efforts to make sure others felt that same joy at the gatherings.

Pennington III, his wife, Terri and their two sons, Thomas and Zachary and Reverend J. Christopher Pennington, his wife, Christy and their three children, Connor, Keila and Nicholas. In addition, Velma leaves behind three siblings, N. Thomas Matthews, Glenda M. Green and Dinah M. Vance and many nieces and nephews.
