03/24/2006
A memorial service in celebration of the life of long-time Alexandria resident Mildred McKay-Pennar-Imlah, who died March 5, 2006 at age 94 in Tucson, Arizona, will be held at the Mountain View Mortuary in Mesa, Arizona on May 6.
Millie is survived by five daughters, Jean McKay Stiendorff of Green Valley, Arizona, Judith Pennar of Princeton, New Jersey, Sharon McKay Peterson of White Heath, Illinois, Sandra Pennar Bonesteel of Green Valley, and Patricia Pennar Sadler of Fountain Hills, Arizona; 11 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren.
Millie was married to Douglas McKay from July 1933 until his death in January 1945; to Thomas Pennar from November 1947 until his death in July 1988; and to John Imlah from 1989 until his death in 1999.
After a full and busy life in Alexandria where they were active in Emmanuel Episcopal Church and upon Tom’s retirement from the postal service, Tom and Millie became snowbirds and then finally located permanently in Arizona in the 1970s.
Millie maintained an active and healthy lifestyle, spending her last several years at the Prestige Assisted Living Facilities in Green Valley and final time at Odyssey Health Care Hospice in Tucson, where she died peacefully.
In lieu of memorials or flowers, donations to local food banks would be appreciated.
