Mrs. Allen was my algebra teacher at Eastside. I just learned of her passing and wanted all of you to know that she was so much fun and such a good teacher. Not as big as a minute, but feisty as all get-out! You didn't want to make her mad! I'm so sorry for your loss and will always remember her as one of my favorite teachers. Debra Worley

I may never have gotten a chance to meet Eleanor Allen personally, however I feel that knowing her son is a glimpse into what a wonderful soul she must have been. I keep the family in my prayers and in my heart.

Eleanor and I were classmates at Elberton High School. We both took Algebra and I am sure she was an excellent Algebra teacher. Also, I knew Eleanor and the Wall family as faithful members of the Elberton First Presbyterian Church. Eleanor will truly be missed. I pray for her family at this sad time.

I struggled with math throughout school but my senior year I had Mrs. Allen and she believed in me and I passed Algebra and and on to have a successful career involving tons of math- I always appreciated her kindness and extra help that helped me to become a more confident and educated going lady!
