It is with great sorrow the family of Pennie D. Tanner, announces her passing after a brief illness on May 5, 2019.

Pennie Lou Dobbs was born April 11, 1947 in Brunswick, Georgia to the late Hubert Nathanial Dobbs and Gladys Louellen Moore Dobbs, where she lived most of her life. She was a graduate of Glynn Academy, class of 1965. She was a dental hygienist by trade for 25 years and then retired to pursue her love of sewing and spending time with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and family.

She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Quitman Dewaine Tanner, her mother Gladys L Dobbs, a sister, Jennie D. Stanfield (Marc) a daughter Ronda K Outler (Chris), a son Jason Pruitt (Erin), a son Mark A. Tanner (Samantha), and a daughter Wanda L Tanner, grandchildren, Cassie Outler, Lexi Pruitt, Leigha Pruitt, Kyle Pruitt, James Fabie, Darrin Rowe, Joni Tanner, Brent Tanner, Kolby Tanner, Jerry Wayne Rowe, Jr.(Crista), Marah Rowe, Eryn Strean, and five great grandchildren.

Pennie had a great love for her family. She was someone you instantly loved and leaves behind many dear friends. Her gift of sewing touched many in the community and assured many brides and pageant girls that their dresses would fit perfectly. Her touches are in the homes of her family and friends and it's easy to show something she made with her own hands that is special for us all.

A memorial service will be held at Pine Ridge Baptist Church, Brunswick, on May 8, 2019 at 11:00 o'clock.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions, in her honor, to Hospice of the Golden Isles, 1692 Glynco Parkway, Brunswick, GA 31525, or to the charity of your choice.
