Mike shared 63 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Abbie Pennington. Together, they raised a family that remained an important part of his life.
A skilled general contractor and construction estimator, Mike dedicated his career to building projects ranging from churches to hospitals throughout Pennsylvania and Texas. His craftsmanship, knowledge, and dedication to his work left a lasting mark on the communities he helped build.
Outside of his career, Mike enjoyed woodworking and building things with his hands. He enthusiastically supported his family's love of horses and was a true connoisseur when creating sticky buns for the church.
A longtime member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Mike was devoted to his faith and community. He was also actively involved with Habitat for Humanity, sharing his passion for building and helping others.
Mike is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Abbie Pennington; his son, Scott Pennington, and daughter, Teri Pennington; and his four granddaughters, Ashley Pennington Wynia, Alyson Pennington, Quinn Pennington Schurle, and Parker Pennington Schurle. He is also survived by his brother, Adlai Pennington, and sister, Linda Richmond.
