Obituary of Teena Ann Penter

Teena A. Penter, 69, of Niles, passed away on Tuesday, September 1, 2020, at her home, with her loving family by her side. Teena was born on January 6, 1951, in Niles Michigan, to the late George and Beverly Johnson. On August 29, 1970 she wed Dave Penter at the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Niles. Teena was a no-nonsense, tell it like it was kind of person, which endeared her to many of her regular patrons at the Colonial Bar where she tended bar. Teena loved the Chicago Cubs, her grandchildren, and shopping, some say it was in that order. In her free time, she could be found soaking up the sun’s rays by the pool. She was preceded in death by her parents. Teena is survived by her husband of fifty years, Dave Penter of Niles; daughters, Brandy (Brian) McCarley of Coloma; Brady (Ron) Loughary of Niles; Sara Penter of South Bend; eleven grandchildren, Kelsey (Alex) VanderGalien, Kaley Florey, Brandii (DeWayne) Antisdel, Amber (Eric) McNeil, Kendell Loughary, Kaden Loughary, Cortland Mayes, Corise Mayes, Corinthian “Ian” Mayes, Corlyja Mayes, and Ily Terry; nine great-grandchildren; siblings, George (Phyllis) Johnson, Becky (Chuck) Williams, and Ric Johnson, along with a host of nieces and nephews. Funeral Services will be held at 3:00 PM on Friday September 4, 2020, at Brown Funeral Home, 521 E. Main St., in Niles. A time of visitation will begin one hour prior to the service. Memorial contributions in her memory may be directed to Hospice at Home
