Gwendolyn Mae Pendleton passed away quietly at home in Fletcher NC on Sabbath, December 20, 2014.

Gwen was born in Athol, MA on August 28, 1927 and was married to the late Howard Pendleton on November 23, 1947. She was a long-time resident of Hendersonville and resided at Fletcher Park Inn Retirement Community in Fletcher, NC. Gwen was a home-maker and dedicated mother who faithfully served in a variety of church and community capacities. Gwen supported her husband Howard's work as a local building contractor/realtor until his death in December, 2004.

Gwen is survived by her six children: Sharon Garner of Ringgold, GA, David Pendleton of Fletcher, NC, Marcia Waters of Centerville, Ohio, Brian Pendleton of Fletcher, NC, Bruce Pendleton of Comer, GA, and George Pendleton of Hendersonville, NC. She is also survived by her 15 grand-children and 12 great-grandchildren.

Gwen was greatly loved by all who knew her and spent her last years enjoying the birds, flowers, and wildlife around her villa's wooded landscape, and visiting with family and friends. Her family was blessed by her love of the Lord, and her continued service to others until her death.

The family will gather for a private graveside service. Friends and loved ones are invited to join the family for a covered-dish fellowship meal that will take place at the Fletcher Seventh-day Adventist Church on Tuesday evening from 6:00-7:30 on December 23, 2014.
