Allene Ruby Townsend

And it’s my time to die (Allene).

Ruby Allene Mays Townsend, aged 96, joined many of her beloved family and friends in heaven on March 12, 2026.

To say she lived a full and wonderful life is an understatement. She was truly a force of nature, and the many troubles she encountered along her journey were no match for her strength, courage, and determination. She never stopped looking at the sunny side of life.

As he was dying, her father Oscar quoted his mother, passing along the best advice you will ever receive. If Allene could, she would say it too.

“Keep ye a-praying, so we can meet again in heaven.”
