Royce Allen, born Oct. 26, 1941, has had a wonderful life with his wife, Carolyn, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We are sad to say that such a loving and special person is no longer with us. After fighting numerous struggles with cancer and other illness he is finally at peace. He and his devoted wife were married for 44 memorable years. Royce was truly the symbol of a kind spirit and gentle soul. He loved all of his family and especially the grandchildren who were the apple of his eye. Royce was the son of the late Seth and Marie Allen. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by two brothers, Louie Allen and Ray Grant, and one sister, Carol Avant.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Allen of Ariton; his son and daughter-in-law, Kendall and Tami Allen of Ariton; and his daughter, Lecia Schramm of Ocala, Fla. He was a proud grandfather of five grandchildren, Candice Fralish Hales, Corey Schramm, Collin Schramm, Jared Peters and Tiffany Page. His great-grandchildren are Jaxon Page and Trevor Peters. He is survived by two brothers, Steve Allen and Thomas Allen, and one sister, Faye Plemens.
Fuqua-Bankston Funeral Home in Ozark, (334) 774-4551, is in charge of arrangements.
