Allie typified the Proverbs 31 woman in that she was a devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. She was a skilled homemaker whose hands were never idle.
While rearing her children, Allie worked in the school cafeterias at Lawson and Urbana. She was an accomplished cook - making savory meals out of everything her husband and sons caught, shot, or trapped. She could skin a deer, clean a squirrel, or scale and filet a fish quicker than most men. She was a skilled seamstress, and excelled at quilt-making, often designing her own patterns. Her love language was cooking big meals, and having lots of folks sit around her table and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
She lived in Urbana most of her adult life, until moving to Oak Ridge Nursing Home in December of 2005. The family extends a very special thank you to the staff of Oak Ridge for taking such good care of Allie.
Graveside services were at 2 p. m. on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at Urbana Cemetery, under direction of Youngs, with Rev. Sam Whitlow officiating. Visitation was Monday, October 29th, from 6-8 p. m. at Youngs. Memorials to the First Baptist Church of Urbana, or to Harmony Baptist Church.
