Lillian Marie Allen
GALVESTON- Lillian Marie Allen age 90 of Galveston crossed over to the other side with peace and total healing,
Friday, July 23, 2010 at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital in Houston, Texas and will be missed immensely by all
those who loved and cherished a lifetime of memories especially her best friend, her daughter. Visitation will be held
from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Friday, July 30, 2010 at Carnes Brothers Funeral Home 1201 Tremont in Galveston, and
also Saturday, July 31, 2010 at Lakewood Church in the New Beginning Chapel from 10:00-11:00am. Funeral services
will follow at 11:00 am. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Galveston, Texas under the direction of Carnes Brothers
Funeral Home.
Our dearly beloved Lillian Marie Allen was born May 19, 1920 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. She was the second of
seven children born to the late Willie and Geneva Tyler. Her parents moved to Galveston, Texas when she was five
years old. She was educated in the Galveston Public School System.
She met and fell in love with her soul mate Rev. Willie Allen, Sr. and were united in holy matrimony September 28,
1946 and from this union a son Willie Jr. and daughter Corliss were born. Lillian Allen was a faithful wife for 54 glorious
years when God called her soul mate home.
Mrs. Allen was employed at Central High School where she worked for many years. An early retirement gave her
an opportunity to be a stay at home mom helping her children with their homework and taking time every night to
prepare Willie Jr. and Corliss for School the next day. Her children looked forward to a hot breakfast every morning.
She was a member of Bible Days Revival Church where she served as an usher to Apostle E. W. Wilcots and
president of the Pastor’s Aid. Rev. Allen served as Assistant Pastor at Bible Days until God called him to pastor the
Spiritual True Church Family making Mrs. Allen the first lady where they served for 23 years. As a first lady, she served
faithfully with passion, patience, and commitment. She was devoted to her family, church and friends. She was affiliated
with several local organizations.
After her husband was called home to be with the Lord on July 12, 2000, Mrs. Allen moved to Houston in 2001 to
live with her daughter. She soon joined the Lakewood Church family with her daughter and became a faithful greeter
and member of the Young at Heart for seniors. She believed in the Word of God and stood as a mighty woman of faith
sharing her wisdom, love and encouragement everywhere she went.
She traveled to many cities and states with her daughter with pure excitement sharing the Word of God. Business
trips soon became an opportunity to speak a word into someone’s life. The two became like twins going to church and
everywhere together-side by side.
Mrs. Allen is preceded in death by her loving parents, Willie and Geneva Tyler, her devoted husband, Rev. Willie
Allen, Sr.; her sisters, Jessie and Thelma, her brothers, Edward, William (Bill), Nathan and Joseph; her son, Willie Allen
Jr.; her nephew, Charles Williams II; and a great-granddaughter LaTaysia Jiles. She leaves to cherish in memory her
faithful daughter, Corliss Allen Rabb; her daughter in law, Carolyn Allen; granddaughter, Sherita Jiles; great-
granddaughter, LaSharra Jiles; grand-Goddaughter, Ameerah Jackson; grand-Godsons, Trajoun and Kaleb Johnson;
Spiritual-daughters, Felecia Briscoe; and the triplet’s, Deidra, Dadra and Donna, as well as a host of admiring nieces,
nephews, cousins and friends all of whom she truly loved and was extremely proud to call their names.
