So long ago we were allowed to spend one week with Grandpa Allen (Alpha Ray Allen) and right down the road were the newly weds Doris and Charles Allen. On that Monday we spent with Aunt Doris 'helping' her wash clothes with, (you guessed it) a hand crank ringer washing machine. After Charles came in for lunch it was time to clear the dishes, scraps into the bucket on the porch and off to slop the hogs. I will never forget them. Sharon Dyer (Sherry Havner).
Pretending I am there with you guys...So long ago we went to visit Grandpa Allen (Alpha Ray Allen) one week in the summer and right down the road Doris and Charles lived. On that Monday we got to spend with Aunt Doris and 'help' wash clothes with (you guessed it) a hand cranked wringer washing machine. After Charles came in for dinner we cleared the table, put leftovers in the bucket on the porch and out we went to slop the hogs! I will never forget them. Sherry Havner
A memory from years ago when my father passed away. When I arrived from Des Moines and entered our house Doris and Charles were already there taking care of my Mom. They were so special and she will be missed. Prayers for the familypray
Over the years, Doris shared lunch and stories on several occasions. She filled us in on how the family was growing - who's wedding or new bundle of joy was on the way. She was so proud of the grandchildren and great grandkids and would share the latest photos of each when time allowed. She and Aunt Evelyn would talk or write each other especially on their birthdays. Her delightful smile and warm hug will stay with us. Love to all. Larry Don and Lillian Sell.
Such a dear sweetheart of a lady--she attended the care center church services and always had a smile on her face. May God give her family peace as you each remember all the wonderful things about her. She will be missed.
So sorry for you loss Steve and family.
Deanna, Angela and family - I was blessed to meet your grandmother, but not enough to know her well. I've heard so much about her from Deanna that I know what a wonderful lady she was, and reading her story just made that feeling more solid. The pictures of her and Max are all delightful, she looks so happy for Deanna, Vince and Max. Deanna, I can see you being EXACTLY a grandma like her - which will please her AND your grandchildren!! May your memories of her give you all comfort, and the love you share with her bring you peace in the coming days. You will miss her immensely, but know that there is much rejoicing in Heaven with her arrival!
