In Loving Memory of Bobbie Allen

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Bobbie Allen, who went home to be with the Lord on January 2, 2026, at 2:12 p.m. She was 82 years old.

Born on April 17, 1943, Bobbie lived a life marked by kindness, quiet strength, and steadfast devotion to her family. She had a gentle presence that brought warmth and peace to every room she entered. Her love was expressed not only through her words, but through the countless ways she cared for those around her. She created a home filled with comfort, joy, and a deep sense of belonging.

Bobbie is survived by her son, Jerrold Wayne Allen, and his wife, Kristy; her daughter, Valerie Harwell, and her husband, Felipe; and her daughter, Tiffany Sampson, and her husband, Luke. She is also survived by her brother, James E. Richardson, and his wife, Georgie, as well as her nephews: Kenneth, Darrell, James W. and Rocky, nieces: Tammy, Dana, and Margaret Ann. She leaves behind eight grandchildren, seven great-nephews, two great nieces, and one precious great-granddaughter, all of whom brought immense joy and pride to her life.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Griffin and Ovilla Hart Richardson; her husband, Jerry Wayne Allen; her brother, Charles Richardson; her sisters, Margaret Ann, Betty Ruth, and Martha Ann Richardson Martin; her grandson, Kole. We take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with them in the presence of the Lord.

Bobbie's life was a testament to faith and resilience. Her compassion, wisdom, and unwavering love touched all who knew her. Though our hearts ache with her absence, we rejoice in the promise that she is now at peace, embraced by the glory of Heaven.

"Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord." —Matthew 25:23

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying…" —Revelation 21:4
