ALLEN

Robert Odell Allen passed peacefully at home on March 19, 2023, in Granbury, Texas.

Robert was born on Jan. 24, 1939, in McLennan County, Texas to his parents Mary Effie (Dyer) and William Henry Allen. Robert married his lifelong love, Mary Joyce Allen, on June 5, 1959, and together they had five children.

Robert was a man of few words, but the ones he did say made him the most loving and kind individual. Especially when it came to his grandkids and giving them all the candy they wanted and whatever destination came up when he would take them on adventures.
