JAMES EDWARD ALLEN, was born on July 19, 1933 in Waynes-
boro, Berk County, Georgia to Willie Pat Evans and the late Clarence
Evans.
He peacefully departed this world on Sunday, July 21, 2002.
James began his educational career when he entered the Georgia
School System at the age of 6. He next attended Tennessee State
University, where he received his Bachelors Degree, while majoring
in Health and Physical Education. It was there that he joined the
brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Beta Omicron Chapter.
Later, he received his Masters Degree from Beaver College.

Army, but soon returned to his love of education.

it thirty-five years later at Lincoln High School.
He was a great lover of all people of all ages. He always had time to
smile, talk joke and laugh with you. Whatever you needed or wanted
he would and could find it for you. He was an avid shopper and
fisherman.
James leaves many to mourn his passing, his beloved wife and
friend, Carolyn; his mother, Willie Pat Evans; his son, Brian Allen;
daughter, Vicki Hill and son-in-law, Calvin Hill; two grandchildren, Noel
Hill and Anthony Allen; one brother, Robert Evans; six sisters-in-law;

I'm Free
Don t grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me;
/ took Mis hand when / heard Him call,
/ turned my back and left it all.
/ could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
/ found that peace at the dose of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy;
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things / too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
/ wish you the sunshine of tomorrow;
My life 's been full, / savored much
Good friends, good times, a love one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief;
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me Free..
The family of the late James Edward Allen would like to take this
opportunity to extend their sincere appreciation for the many kind
expressions of sympathy extended to them during their hour of
bereavement. May God forever bless and keep each one of you
in His tender, loving care.
