Allene Bowie was a devoted wife to her husband L.R., whom she married at the tender age of 15. Together, they raised three children, and she extended her nurturing spirit to any friends her children brought home. Her family was the center of her world, and she was a devoted mother who cherished her role.
A homemaker by choice, Allene also worked for some time in child care. Her personal interests included playing board games with her family and working puzzles. She also enjoyed drag racing and took great pleasure in watching her husband L.R. and her son Wendell race.

She is also survived by her brother, James Dunagan and wife Peaches; her sister, Mary White; eight great grandchildren as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and other family members.
