Obituary of Imogene Pennison

Memorial Service Tuesday, Sep 26, 2017 5:00 PM-7:00 PM Imogene Pennison February 12, 1941 - September 18, 2017 Imogene Shields Pennison, 76, of La Porte, TX passed with peace and grace on September 18th, 2017. She departed this earth surrounded by hymns at home as she was welcomed through heavens gates, her true home. Imogene was born in Curtis, Mississippi on February 12th, 1941 to Winfred and Anna Beatrice Shields. Becoming the wife of a music minister in 1963 kept her actively involved in the church throughout her life and constantly surrounded by music. However, nothing brought Imogene more joy than children; first her own, then her grandchildren, then to any child before her. Imogene is survived by her husband, Albert Pennison, Jr.; her daughter Karen McWhorter of Texas; her three granddaughters, Kaitlyn, Megan, and Brittany McWhorter, all of Texas; her two brothers Harold Shields of Texas and Howard Shields of Mississippi; and her two sisters Louise Russell and Betty Perotta, both of Texas. Imogene was preceded in death by her parents Winfred and Beatrice Shields; her son Albert ‘Gene’ Pennison, III; and her sister Virginia Walton. A memorial service to celebrate Imogene’s life and legacy will be held from 5:00 pm through 7:00 pm Tuesday, September 26th, at Paul U. Lee Funeral Home, located at 201 S 3rd. St., LaPorte, Texas 77571.
