Englewood, NJ, February 21, 2012- NVE Bank kicked off its 125th Anniversary year by throwing a birthday celebration for longtime customer Agnes Fenton, who turns 107 in 2012.   President Robert Rey announced that NVE plans to thank loyal customers like Ms. Fenton with a series of special acknowledgements throughout the year.

Bank staff paid tribute to Mrs. Fenton with a January celebration that included friends and family at its Engle Street headquarters.  “We are proud to have Agnes as a customer and consider her part of our NVE Family”, said Rey.   The loyalty of customers like Agnes is why NVE continues to thrive after 125 years of business, and we are honored to celebrate her life and accomplishments today”.

Mrs. Fenton was born in 1905 in Mississippi and remained there until her 14th birthday when she and her family moved to Memphis, Tennessee.  As a young woman, Mrs. Fenton became one of the first African-American women to own and operate a business with the opening of The Pals Duck Inn, located in Memphis. Her restaurant, located near LeMoyne-Owen College, still exists today under the name of Four Way Grill Restaurant and is a popular spot for local students.  Mrs. Fenton relocated to New Jersey and has been a resident of Englewood since the 1950’s.
