Dr. Allen Babcock
Allen Rodney Babcock was born in Mackinaw, Michigan, on January 12, 1922 to Earl and Edna (Davis) Babcock. He passed from this life on February 13, 2006.
Allen grew up in a traditional Seventh Day Baptist home. The family moved from Detroit to Battlecreek, Michigan, and on to North Loup, Nebraska, where Allen graduated from high school in 1940. He entered the Navy and spent most of his time in the South Pacific repairing Navy bombers during World War II. After the war he came back to North Loup and married Merna C. (Van Horn) on June 1, 1948, at the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist Church. The couple moved to Davenport, Iowa, where Allen attended Palmer Chiropractic College. He graduated in 1950 and they moved to Kansas City, Missouri.
Dr. Babcock learned of a need for a chiropractic clinic in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, so he, his wife, and baby son Roger moved there in December of 1950. He made El Dorado Springs home for his family and remained in practice there for over 50 years. His wife Merna operated a healthfood store in the community for over 25 years. He and his family were strong, loyal, and faithful members of the Church of God (7th Day) in El Dorado Springs.
He served as a board member for 30 years, as vice president for several terms and as a contributing editor of The Sabbath Sentinel.
He was a kind and compassionate man who looked for ways to be helpful to others. He was a generous person whose ears were always open to those who were hurting in body, soul, and spirit. He gave all he could to make this world a better place for all people to live. He was not ashamed to publicly witness of the love of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother and his brother the Reverend Wayne Babcock.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Merna C. Babcock; three sisters, Audrey Fuller of Daytona, Florida, Gloria Sharp of Beemer, Nebraska, and Donna Brown of Altamonte Springs, Florida; four children, Roger Babcock, Auburndale, Florida, Shirley (Babcock) Coulter of Springfield, Missouri, Jay Babcock of Jasper, Alabama, and Teresa (Babcock) Rash of El Dorado Springs, Missouri; twelve grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted on February 16, 2006, at the Sheldon Funeral Home in El Dorado Springs, with pastors Terry Manley and Gene Rawls officiating. Internment was at the Clintonville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions were received by Casa Shalom Ministries, Inc., to support orphans.
