Clinton G. Pennington
January 6, 1943 — March 18, 2015
Clinton George Pennington, age 72, changed his church membership from the church militant to the church triumphant on Wednesday, March 18, 2015.
Clint was a proud veteran of the US Army. Serving for nine years, 1961 to 1970, including 1 year in Vietnam with the 2nd Battalion 14th Infantry 25th Infantry Division. Staff Sergeant Pennington was honorably discharged in July 1970. He is a recipient of the Army Commendation Medal and the Purple Heart and various other awards and commendations.
He retired in 1992 from the US Postal Service as Manager of Information Services. He then worked for AEP as a Computer Analyst and retired from there in January 2004. He then worked a couple part time jobs including 3 years at Wasserstrom in their Information Services Department.
Clint was a member of the earthly congregation of Beautiful Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church (WELS). He loved being fed the word of God there and loved his earthly church family dearly. He gladly worked with the church school thru the IS Committee.
Clint is preceded in death by his father, George F. Pennington during WWII at the Battle of the Bulge. His mother, Kay Pennington, went to her eternal home in September 2002.
He is survived by his soul mate and loving wife, G. Irene of 34 years; his son George F. Pennington II and daughter Beth Ann Pennington; step son Matthew D. Dillon; seven grandchildren; Nathan, Hailey, Hannah, Cory, Kayla, Marshall and Jesse. Also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law; many of whom have stepped up and helped us get through this difficult time.
Clint tried to live his life so people could see Jesus' love through him. He took responsibility for his failures but gave the credit for his successes to the forgiving God that he served faithfully. One of his ministries for the last 21 years was to pass out scripture coins so those that came in contact with him received the word of God. There is a question and answer that have eternal consequence: Question: Acts 16:30b (NIV) 30b "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Answer: Acts 16:31b (NIV) 31b "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." Just something for you to ponder.
The family wants to thank the folks at Ohio Health Hospice for all their compassion and the excellent care they provided to both Clint and our family. A special thanks to nurse Margo. Clint absolutely loved her.
A memorial service will be held at the Beautiful Savior Evangelical Church, 2213 White Rd., Grove City, OH 43123 at 2pm on Sunday, March 22, 2015.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to OhioHealth Foundation (OhioHealth Hospice), 180 E. Broad St., FL 32, Columbus, OH 43215-9480 or Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church.
