Robert Wayne "Bob" Pendleton

Robert Wayne (Bob) Pendleton, 91, Comer, passed away peacefully Sunday, January 8, 2023.

Born in New Middletown, Indiana, he was the son of the late Wilbur and Bernice Pendleton. He was a graduate of New Middletown High School before enlisting in the United States Navy in 1952. After his time in the service, he moved to Madison County, where he met the love of his life, Allene Sorrells Pendleton.  Pendleton was an employee of Georgia Power and spent several years living in Cornelia, Georgia, where he worked as an appliance repairman.

After moving back to Comer and retiring from Georgia Power, Bob spent most of his time on the cattle farm. He loved spending time in the hayfield on the tractors, and later in life, watching his relatives on the tractors, as he was now the official gate opener/closer.

He was a big follower of NASCAR and he and Allene would travel to watch the live action. He was also a fan of the UGA Bulldogs and the Atlanta Braves.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Allene Sorrells Pendleton.

Mr. Pendleton is survived by his daughter, Robin Pendleton, brother William and Linda Pendleton, sister Linda and John Harrover, and brother Ron and Patty Pendleton. He is also survived by nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the compassionate staff at The Hampton House Personal Care Home and St. Mary’s Hospice for the wonderful care they provided.

Visitation will be held at Lord and Stephens Funeral Home in Danielsville on Friday February 10th from 6-8pm.  The memorial service will be held at Comer United Methodist Church on Saturday February 11th at 11am.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Comer United Methodist Church or the Comer Cemetery Fund.
