Lucius Alton Allred

Funeral service for Mr. Lucius Alton Allred will be 3 p.m., Sunday, July 7, at Riverwood Family, with interment at

Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery. Visitation is from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., Saturday, July 6, at Riverwood.

 

Reverends Dustin McDavid, Gary Harper, Paul Gabbard, and Stacey Kelly will officiate.

 

Lucius Alton Allred, 93, of Brookhaven, died July 4, 2019, at New Dawn Retirement in Ruth. He was born June 20, 1926, in Lincoln

County to the late Lucius Allred and Emma Vaughn Allred. 

He was a longtime active member in The First Church of the Nazarene in Brookhaven, and was involved in many functions of the church

until health no longer allowed him to do so. He also proudly served his country in the United States Army during World War II. 

On April 5, 1947, he married the love of his life, Edith Rae Smith, whom he affectionately referred to as "the Ole Hen", and together they raised 

five children. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Mr. Allred began his working career as a butcher in Brookhaven and eventually built his own grocery store located on West Congress Street.

He later became involved in the oil field and he and his oldest son started Allred Tubing Testers, from which he retired. Before and after 

retiring, he and his wife traveled the United States in their motorhome, taking many trips lasting from one to three months. They were 

members of Campers on Mission and were blessed to have visited almost every state in the United States and would return home to share tales of their

adventures with the entire family.

HIs early passion was fox hunting and talking on his CB radio, where he was known as "the Red Fox". Later he spent many hours fishing the Mississippi

River for catfish, along with his mini pens, Jack and Lizzie.

Mr. Allred is preceded in death by his loving wife of 66 years, Edith Rae Smith Allred; one son, Steve Allred; and sister, Donnis Adams.

Survivors are his children and their spouses, Clara Coggins and Bill, of Columbus, Sue Godbold and Don, of Brookhaven, Keith Allred and Dale, of

Bogue Chitto, and Becky McDavid and Mike, of Brookhaven; sister, Doris Keifer, of Florence; his grandchildren and their spouses, Currie Prince

and Michael, Brad Godbold and Jennifer, Ben Allred, Sally Beth McCoullough and G.T., Rev. Dustin McDavid and Laura, Caleb McDavid and Kacie,

Daniel Allred and Mandy, Dasha Bond and Kenny, and Mason Allred; great grandchildren, Callaway Prince, CArsen Prince, Anna Prince, Mary Morgan Surrett 

and Eric, Molly Godbold, Luke Godbold, Lilli Johnson, Avery Johnson, Sally Grace McCoullough, Sam McCullough, Noah McDavid, Silas McDavid, Asher McDavid,

Payden McDAvid, Aria McDavid and Hannah McKee; and one great great granddaughter, Paisley Grace Prince.

 

Pallbearers will be his grandsons, Brad Godbold, Rev. Dustin McDavid, Caleb McDavid, Daniel Allred, Ben Allred, and Mason Allred. Honorary Pallbearers are Oscar Smith

and Roger Smith.

 

The Family would like to express their heart felt thanks to the New Dawn Retirement for the excellent care and love given to their faither and 

grandfather, and to Hospice Compassus for the compassion and care they gave to him and the entire family.
