Longtime Montgomery pastor dies at 78
Lendon Palmer “Lenny” Bolton, former pastor of Chisholm Baptist Church, Montgomery, for 27 years, died Sept. 2. He was 78.
At the time of his death, he was serving as pastor of Wares Ferry Road Baptist Church, Montgomery. Bolton also served as pastor of Pine Level Baptist Church and First Baptist Church, Stevenson.
Bolton had long had a strong relationship with the Montgomery Baptist Association, serving as its moderator from 2002 to 2004 and chairing the committee that brought former director of missions (DOM) Ken May to the association.
Neal Hughes, current DOM for Montgomery Association, said, “Lenny was a pastor who genuinely loved every person he met.”
Bolton was a longtime instructor with the Montgomery Institute of Samford University’s Extension Division. In his later years, he served with Southern Care Hospice.
He is survived by his wife, Judy; two children; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. (TAB)
