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.
