James Street Pendergrass, Sr., of Guntersville in the Red Hill community, gained his heavenly wings, December 30, 2022, at the age of 88. He passed away peacefully at his residence surround by his family.
Mr. Pendergrass was born June 17, 1934, to Dovie and Willie Pendergrass. James was married to his best friend, Connie, for 65 years. He was known as Pop to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. If you ever rode by his house, chances are you saw him outside because that’s where he loved to spend his time. His passions included gardening, piddling in his shop and sheds, tinkering with his old cars, riding his “buggy”, and fishing. Nothing could put a smile on his face faster or brighter than him spending time with his family.
