 Obituary 
It is G-d who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent hack to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known much, for G-d is all knowing, all powerful. 
Holy Qu'ran 16-70 
Eloise Love Allen was born on June 7, 1920 in Bulloch County, Statesboro, Georgia to the late Sammual Love and Annie Mai Payne. She was a devoted mother with a heart of gold who gave to so many people throughout her entire life. Mrs. Allen was married to the late Willie A. Allen, Sr., her husband of 32 years, until his passing in 1983. She resided at 1122 Phillips Street in Augusta, Georgia for over fifty years until her health began to fail.
