Obituary for Alice Virginia Allen
Alice Virginia Allen (better known as “Boo Boo”) was born May 21, 1939 to Lawrence and Gertrude Allen, the eldest of ten children.
Virginia was educated at Luther H. Foster High School. She received the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior at an early age and was baptized at Fourth Mount Zion Baptist Church. She sponsored the Voices of Unity Choir, was a member of the hospitality Committee and served as Sexton for many years.
Her work ethics were impeccable. Always on time at Crewe Garment Factor and Amelia Dress Factory for over thirty years. She loved gardening, can pick beans and greens (any kind) faster than any farm machine. She could sew, make her own clothes, curtains and hemmed pants for the community.
Alice was preceded in death by her parents; Lawrence and Gertrude; her sons, Melvin and Lafayette; brothers, Lawrence Jr., Winston and Chambliss.
She leaves to mourn: her daughters, Eartha, Lillian and Collette; her son, Stephen; brothers, Carlton (Mattie), Brightwell and Adolphus; sisters, Debra Williams (Roderick Sr.), Shelia Bartley (Morris) and Cartreia Wright; a daughter-in-law, Janis Allen; sister-in-law, Portia Allen; grandchildren, LaTisha, Melvin Jr., Shawda, Myeshia, Jabrel, Anthony, Tremaine, Clarence Jr., Aneeka, Julian and a devoted granddaughter, Shaleisha Jones; eleven great grandchildren; dear friends, Ardelia, Mary Ann, Anna, Julia, Lois, Marian, Cloris and Regina; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and church family.
