Alice May Allen

In loving memory of Alice May Allen, born July 18, 1926 to Emil Schroedar and Nellie Irene Howard. Alice was proceeded in death by both parents, one son, and husband, Jess Allen. Alice and Jess were happily married for forty five years. Their love was one we could only dream of. Alice has five children: two daughters, Debra Murphy and Elayne Cornelius; three sons: Lawrence Wesley Ettinger, Jr. (Sonny); Lonnie Morris Ettinger; and Larry Lee Ettinger. She has two sisters: Lois and Sue and three brothers: Luther, Alvin and Gean. Alice has several grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved to raise her chickens and loved the time she got to spend with her great great grandchildren. She spent her final days with her granddaughter, Lorie Murphy, where she meet her great great grandchildren: Deyshelle,9; Mykah, 3; Samatha, 2; Sky R, 1; and Kellon, 9 months; the children loved her dearly. We will all love and miss her. I want to leave her memory with this:

A Heart of Gold.
A heart of gold stopped beating .
Two shiny eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He always takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us
But you did not go away alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day he took you home.
To some you will be forgotten,
And to others just part of the past.
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last.

A memorial service will be held 1:00 PM, Saturday, February 11, 2017 at Oak Grove Church in Norwood, Missouri.
