William Edwin Pendleton

PENDLETON, William Edwin, 82, passed away on Friday, February 26, 2016. “Bill” was preceded in death by his wife, Nina, and is survived by four children, Vickie Wall (Scott), Diane Delaney (John), Tracy Pendleton (Susan), and Kandi Sant’Anna (Xel). He is also survived by nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and two brothers; Raymond (Jean), and Wayne. In addition, he had a blessed life and enjoyed many friends and long-time neighbors. He was born in Meadows of Dan, Va., and was the son of the late Harry R. and Agnes R. Pendleton. He retired from Diebold Inc. in 1998, after 29 years of service. He was a member of Fort Lee Baptist Church, and a proud Army veteran of the Korean War.

Bill enjoyed hunting with his family and friends, trout fishing, camping at Rainbow Acres, working in his garage, and having his family around him. He was very proud of his mountain heritage, and he enjoyed bluegrass music, practical jokes, and laughing.

The family would like to thank the staff at Medi Home Health & Hospice for many years of caring for our parents, and especially Georgia, Amanda, and Dixie.

Services will be held at Fort Lee Baptist Church on Wednesday, March 2, 2016, at 2 p.m. The family will receive visitors at Nelsen Funeral Home, Laburnum Ave. Chapel on Tuesday, March 1, 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to either the Wounded Warrior Foundation or the Apraxia-Kids.org organization.
