Betty also leaves behind an enormous amount of very dear friends. These are the people she met through football, teaching, Sunday School and life. They are the ones whose lives she touched, and vice versa. Betty grew up in Grant Park. After graduating from Roosevelt High School, she attended Georgia State for her undergrad and graduate school. Betty was a legal secretary for 5 years while she worked on her degree. The 3 Allen boys began to arrive so Betty stayed home until the youngest began kindergarten.

Betty was a long-time member of the First Baptist Church Snellville. Betty enjoyed traveling with her husband, as well as with their very dear friends. She was an avid reader and a brilliant woman. Betty was a sports enthusiast and of course football was her favorite. Ray said that people told him they'd never seen someone who understood the game and knew the plays and schemes. Betty could always be seen supporting her husband, Ray, as he coached for more than 40 years. She was always seen at the events of their 3 sons and followed and supported their passions and pursuits.
Betty will be remembered for her beautiful smile and her kind demeanor. She touched countless lives and her memory will be cherished by many.
