Horace Dale Allen

Horace was retired from the Miller County road department, where he gave 21 years of dedicated service. In the steady work of a life faithfully lived, he earned the regard of others not through fanfare, but through commitment and reliability.

A faithful and devoted member of Fairland Holiness Church, Horace cherished his church family and the fellowship of attending services. He supported his family to the fullest, offering a steadfast presence that will be deeply missed.

Horace also found joy in simple, meaningful work—especially spending time outside, tending to his garden, where patience and care were evident in all he did.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Allen, and a son, Horace Kevin Allen. He was also preceded in death by 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

Survivors include his children and their spouses: Ricky and Cara Allen, Tim Allen, Doug Allen and Heidi Washburn, Jeff Allen and Evelyn Buxton, Rebecca Jimerson and Brandon Allen; his sister, Eunice Hawkins; his brother, Yewoul Allen; 14 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family extends special thanks to Gentiva Hospice for all their care and support during this time.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 2:00 pm on Saturday July 18th, 2026 at Fairland Holiness Church.

Funeral services will begin at 2:00 pm on Saturday July 18th, 2026 at Fairland Holiness Church with Rev. Lloyd Shuecraft and Rev. Joe Armbrister officiating.

Burial will follow at Fairland Cemetery under the direction of East Funeral Home-Downtown.
