Sam was born May 8, 1929 in Columbus, GA, son of the late William Marion Allen 
and Minnie Collier Allen. He owned a military supply store in his early years, 
which he sold when the Lord called him into the ministry at age 40. Sam attended 
Trinity College in Dunedin, Florida and pastored numerous churches before 
retiring for the final time on his 93rd birthday. He loved people and loved 
teaching them about his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sam enjoyed vegetable 
gardening, working in his shop, and sitting on his porch just enjoying the 
beauty of nature. He loved his many cats. 

 If he could talk to us now, Sam would say something like this: “when you hear 
that I am no longer living, don't believe a word of it----for I am living the 
best part of my life as I have moved into my heavenly home”. 

 Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by a daughter, Brenda Gail 
Allen; a son, Samuel Marion Allen; and a grandson, Michael Roy Allen; sisters: 
Myrtle Brown, Ethel Bullard, Mary Corley, Eunice Wommack, and Flora Brown; 
brothers: Jimmy Allen and Newt Allen (Daisy).

Sam is survived by his loving wife, Vivian Allen of Buena Vista, GA; daughter, 
Dianne Mitchell and husband Gary of Salem, AL; grandchildren, David Allen 
(Alexandra), Jason Allen (Katie), Amy Smith (John Paul) and Jenny Scruggs 
(Tony); great-grandchildren, Savanna, Sammy, Noah, Cora, Hailey, and Damien; 
numerous extended loving family members, many caring friends, and a large host 
of Christian brothers and sisters.
