Lebanon, Virginia -- Clotean Fern Pannell
It is with heavy hearts and deep gratitude for her life that we announce the passing of our beloved Granny, Clotean Fern Pannell "Granny Pannell", who went home to be with the Lord on August 28th, 2025, surrounded by those who loved her deeply.
A woman of unwavering faith, Granny lived a life anchored in love, resilience, and grace. Her strength carried our family through every season, and her trust in God was the foundation upon which so many of us found our own hope and peace.
She was a quiet warrior, steadfast in prayer, and generous with her kindness. Her home was always open, her hands always working in love, and her heart always lifting others up. She taught us how to endure with dignity, how to love without condition, and how to find joy even in the simplest blessings.
To know her was to be reminded of Gods goodness. Whether through her comforting meals, her warm embrace, or her words of wisdom, Granny shared her light in every corner she touched.
She is proceeded in death by her parents, William and Cosetta Barr; her beloved husband, Leslie Pannell; her son, Hershel Pannell; her siblings, Bill and Gay Barr.
Survived by daughter-in-law, Mary Pannell; grandchildren, Rick Pannell and Erica Pannell-Williams; great grandchildren, Kaelib Jones, Kaia Jones, Isaiah Pannell, Skylair Pannell, and Koko Williams; great-great grandchildren, Willow and Kehlani Jones, and numerous special nieces and nephews.
Though our hearts ache in her absence, we rejoice knowing she is now at peace in the arms of her loved ones that have passed and her Savior.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
- 2 Timothy 4:7
