Allene B. Carver April 1, 1943- December 29, 2007
A photo was taken of the Brannon family enjoying nostalgia connected with the Wellborn United Methodist Church. Parents Katie and Bob Brannon ( deceased over 20 years now ) were members of the Methodist Church and several of their children's weddings were there.
This photo is especially treasured now because the one in blue is Allene Brannon Carver whose body was laid to rest yesterday.
Surviving Allene are her sister, Colleen B. Borklund, her brother, Wayne (Punk) Brannon and sister in law Martha Rae Brannon, and two daughters Gaylene (Dearl) Connell and Brenda Carver and a host of family and friends; so many that they needed the biggest church sanctuary (Wellborn Baptist) in town for the funeral.
Nephew Rev. Dale Brannonofficiated at the service celebrating her life. Rev. Martha Rae Brannon sang Allene's favorite "Beulah Land". Ricky and Vicky Roberts addeed "Go Rest High on That Mountain" with Ricky's guitar accompaniment.
"Some Glad Morning Ill Fly Away" was incorporated in Rev. Dale's spoken word and several stood and clapped during the familiar song.
Niece Teresa B. Spradley shared Allene as her life touched others . The eulogy& tribute to a life well lived is worth the few minutes it takes to read it. (see separate posting).
