Mary Pennington Huff

Wrens, GA – Mary Pennington Huff, 89, loving wife of the late Ray Wilson Huff, entered into her eternal rest late Friday night, May 6, 2016 at Jefferson Hospital in Louisville. Funeral services will be held at 3:00 P.M. Tuesday afternoon, May 10, 2016 at Wrens Baptist Church with Reverend Carson Fellows officiating. Interment will follow in Wrens Memorial Gardens.

Born to the late Mollie Clark Pennington and the late Charles Pennington, Mary was a lifelong resident of Wrens, living in the same house for 80 years. She graduated from Wrens High School and was married to the love of her life in 1949. A loving, devoted wife and mother, Mary was a homemaker whose goal was to provide a safe sanctuary for her family. She served her Lord and Savior as a member Wrens Baptist Church, Fidelis Sunday School Class, and WMU. She loved her church and even after her health declined and she could no longer attend, she still Biblically supported the church. Mary enjoyed her flowers, bird feeders, watching the hummingbirds and feeding the neighborhood rabbit. She loved genealogy—when talking with people, she always wanted to know who you were kin to and where you were born. Having a strong-will, self-reliant, independent nature, she was a dedicated, dependable friend and kept a "can-do" positive outlook. Above all, Mary was proud of her family whom she loved unconditionally. Being reunited with her husband, her eternity has begun and is now praising God in Glory.

Mary is also preceded in death by all of her half siblings: Alice Evans, Aquilla Pennington, Ada Gay, Mary Ricker, Marvin Pennington, Recy Pennington, Tessie Gay, Freddie Pennington, Earnest Pennington, Truman Pennington, Verna Harwell, Norris Pennington and Hulon Pennington. Her survivors include a son, Charles W. Huff (Carol) of Dallas GA; two granddaughters, Lori Smith (Scott) and Cathy Magwood (Danny); four great grandchildren, Jeremy Smith, Katelyn Magwood, Riley Magwood and Brayden Magwood; many nieces, nephews and friends. Serving as pallbearers will be Mike Hildebrand, Scott Huff, Russ McDonald, Charles Milburn, Allen Veal and Brian Whitaker.

The family respectfully requests that in lieu of flowers memorial contributions be made to Wrens Baptist Church, P.O. Box 217, Wrens GA 30833.

The family will receive friends at James Funeral Home from 1:00-2:45 P.M. Tuesday afternoon, May 10 ,2016, prior to the funeral services.

Legacy of Love

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,

This is the legacy we have from you.

You taught us love and how to fight,

You gave us strength, you gave us might.

A stronger person would be hard to find,

And in your heart, you were always kind.

You fought for us all in one way or another,

Not just as a wife, not just as a mother.

For all of us you gave your best,

Now the time has come for you to rest.

So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,

Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.

Faith — Hebrews 11: 1-3, 6

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen.

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed

by the word of God, so that things which are seen were

not made of things which do appear.

But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he

that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he

is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hope — I Peter 1: 3-9

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which

according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a

lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that

fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation

ready to be revealed in the last time.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be,

ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of

gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found

unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Whom having now seen, ye lovc; in whom, though now ye see him

not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
