June Allen, age 92, of Reed, Oklahoma, went home to be with Jesus Friday morning, November 12, at Bridges Rehabilitation Therapy Center in Altus, Oklahoma.
June O. Adams Allen was born June 14, 1922 in Mangum, OK to Jesse Washington Adams and Rose Naomi Bryan Hawkins. She lived in Mangum until her family moved to a farm in the Reed Community when she was a young girl. June was a very shy girl who loved music. She would take her guitar and climb the windmill to sit and sing on a small platform or sometimes she would take refuge on the flat top of the potato house. There she could play and sing to her heart’s content. She did not find out until much later that her voice would carry on the crisp air of evening and the neighbors were making a habit of sitting on their porches late in the evening to hear her sing. One of those neighbors was a young boy only one year older than June who lived on a farm over the hill. This young boy, Winfred Allen, walked over to the farm one evening with his guitar to play music with June’s brother, Delaware. He first saw June swinging on the yard gate and the rest is history.
Seventy-four years ago, on June 29, 1940, this special couple was married in Mangum. They raised their children on their farm northwest of Reed. June’s recent marriage advice to her new granddaughter-in-law was simple: together. This is how she and Win lived their life. They were always together whether in the field, working on equipment, tending cattle or doing housework. June loved to work. She loved being on the tractor and left the cooking to her girls. She always had a project which included cleaning, sewing, quilting, painting, and fixing anything broken. She always had her sewing machine and super glue handy.
Preceded in death by her parents and brother, Delaware Adams, June is survived by her husband, Winfred, and three children: Judy DeAnn Allen Jenkins and husband, Bob, of Granite, OK, Dr. Delwin Don Allen and wife, Patsy, of Friona Texas, and Kathy Allen Haley and husband, Guy, of Granite, OK. Her grandchildren are Carl Jenkins and wife, Mandy, of Round Rock, TX, Ellen Jenkins Marquardt and husband, Matt, of Yukon, OK, Jesse Allen and wife, Kiley, of Shamrock, Tx, Alice Allen Tongier and husband, Cameron, of Boise, ID, Emily Allen Stowers and husband, Andrew, of Friona, TX, Jordan Allen Morgan and wife, Coryne, of Edmond, OK, and Caitlyn Haley of Wheeling, WV. June has six great-grandchildren and one on the way: Taylor, Austin, Cameron, Jaxxn, Rylee, Mitchell and Layla. June had a positive and lasting impression on many nieces, nephews, relatives and close friends, especially a foster son, Richard Bradford
