Nannie Eloise Allen

Ms. Nannie Eloise Allen was born on November 3, 1941, to the late Georgia Allen Hill and the late Burnie Allen in Madison, Alabama. On the morning of Thursday, May 14, 2026, the Lord quietly called Nannie home to receive her heavenly reward for a job well done.

Upon accepting Christ as her Lord and Savior, Nannie joined Mt. Olive M.B. Church in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where Rev. Roger Pride is the pastor. She later became a faithful and dedicated member of Church Street CPCA under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Mitchell Walker, where she remained active in the Nurses Ministry Aid and Mid-Day Bible Study.

At an young age, Nannie moved from Huntsville, Alabama, to the Shoals area, where she attended Northwest Shoals Community College and earned her nursing degree. She devoted more than 20 years of service to Helen Keller Hospital. In her spare time, Nannie had a passion for sewing and lovingly used her talents to hand make Easter outfits for her children.

Nannie was preceded in death by her parents, Georgia Allen Hill and Burnie Allen; sister, Mary Francis Donegan; brother, Burnie Nelson Allen; and grandson, Marcellus E’man Hunter.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories:

her daughter, Veronica Love; her son, Minister Greg (Kim) Allen, both of Huntsville, Alabama; a devoted special friend, John Robert Mayes of Muscle Shoals, Alabama; four grandchildren, Dewayne Allen of Huntsville, Alabama, Tynesha Allen of Jacksonville, Florida, Shari Allen of Florence, Alabama, and Tiaya Hubbard of Florence, Alabama; six great-grandchildren, Iteania Allen of Tuscumbia, Alabama, Dewayne Allen, Jr., Anthony Allen, and Aniyah Watkins, all of Huntsville, Alabama, and Jayden Allen and Daylan Allen, both of Florence, Alabama; one unborn great-great-grandchild, Kihyeir Nalls; two sisters, Lucille Patton of Harvest, Alabama, and Narvell Patton of Huntsville, Alabama; a sister-in-law, Carrie Allen; a brother-in-law, Arthur Donegan; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends, including all of her wonderful Gateway Place family.
