Our beloved son, Gary Merl Allen, brother, father, and uncle departed this life August 30, 2004.
A graveside service will be held at 2pm on Friday, Sept. 3, 2004 at Resthaven Memorial Park with the Rev. John Waterloo, pastor, Central Baptist Church, officiating. Arrangements were made under the direction of the Trout Funeral Home. The family will greet friends at Trout Funeral Home from 6:30-8:30 on Thursday evening.
Gary was born August 18, 1944 to Merl E. and Norma Jeanne Allen, at Miami, Okla. Gary’s father was in the Navy, so he and his mother spent months in New York City visiting his dad, where Gary was the smallest cowboy on Times Square.
Gary and his family then spent the next five years traveling six states, where his dad erected stationary Diesel engines in Power Plants until Gary was old enough to start school. Gary spent his first six grades at Afton, Okla. (His Mom and Dad’s old hometown)
His father then accepted a job in Ponca City where Gary finished High School, after which he attended N.O.C. at Tonkawa and following that, Oklahoma State University.
He was united in marriage to Sandra Madderra, and from this union had one son, Jeffery Scott Allen.
Gary became interested in carpentry, and eventually operated as Gary Allen Construction Company, often working with his son, Jeffery, and framing many nice homes in Ponca City, until ill health forced his retirement.
Gary was preceded in death by his father, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents.
Left to mourn Gary’s passing is his son, Jeffery Allen of Ponca City, his daughter, Kristin Allen of Lake Forrest, California, two sisters, Jeri Waller of Ponca City and husband, Keith, Keri Cooper of Tierra Verde, Florida, and husband, Miller, his mother, Norma Jeanne Allen of Ponca City, three very special nieces, Juli and Jill Johnson, and Jacy Bussey, and a host of many cousins and good friends.
