PRESTON, Idaho -- Dr. Harris G. Allen, 76, passed away from complications of a stroke on Monday, Sept. 13, 2004, in Salt Lake City, surrounded by family and friends.
Harris was born on Feb. 16, 1928, in Smithfield, to his earthly parents, Grover Elijah Allen and Francetta Harris. Harris graduated from Utah State University with his B.A. in history. He received his master's degree from San Francisco State and later received his doctorate in education from Brigham Young University. Harris spent 42 years as an education administrator and teacher. He loved working with students and they loved and respected him. Harris moved to Northern California where he met his lovely wife, Carol Lee Stubbs, at a church function. They were married in the Logan LDS Temple in 1957 and have celebrated 47 wonderful years of marriage. He loves his Heavenly Father and believes in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In April of 2000, Harris fulfilled his lifelong dream and served a mission with his wife in Nauvoo, Ill. He was a member of the Rotary International.
Harris loved working in his yard and garden, perfecting every space and corner.
