Even though he is still alive in his God Jehovah’s memory, Terrell Wayne Penland passed away at home on January 12, 2023, at the age of 75 after a short battle with cancer. As she had been since Terry’s stroke 5 years ago, Roberta was ever by his side, holding his hand through it all. Terry is survived by his wife of 49 years, Roberta Penland; his brother, Douglas Erwin Penland, Jr., and wife Betty; his brother, Joel Hugh Penland; his sister, Beverly Messier, and husband Allen; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his son, Terrell Scott Penland; his parents, Douglas, Sr., and Margaret Penland; and his sister, Lona Elizabeth Nash. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for over 50 years, he had a deep faith in the promises held out in the Bible. Anyone who knew Terry also knew of his love for the water, whether it was taking a calm ride in his boat around the lake or a more exciting one outside of his boat, with or without skis. He enjoyed sharing with others the things that made him happy.
