Sue E. Allen

Sue E. Allen, a devoted Christian and beloved, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in her residence in Nederland, Texas on February 2, 2024. She was born on December 11, 1932, in Troup, Texas to Coma I. (Adams) Fitzgerald and John S. Fitzgerald.

Sue graduated from Wharton High School and went on to have a successful career as a bookkeeper at Fidelity Investments. After years of hard work and dedication, she retired from her position and enjoyed the well-deserved fruits of her labor.

Sue was one of the first members to attend Ridgewood Baptist Church. A woman of unwavering faith, Sue was devout in her Christian beliefs. Her strong spirituality provided solace in times of hardship and guided her through life with grace. She supported the event Night to Shine which is a prom for those with special needs ages 14 and older.

Sue had a zest for life that radiated through her hobbies and interests. She cherished organizing various items - be it photo albums, her office, or even her children's lake house - with meticulous care and attention to detail. Sue was not one to spend all her time indoors. She embraced an active lifestyle and cherished spending time outdoors. Tending to her plants and solving jigsaw puzzles were among her favorite pastimes.

One of the greatest joys in Sue's life was traveling with her husband, Lloyd L. Allen. Together, they explored the world and created countless beautiful memories before Lloyd's passing. Sue's family meant the world to her, and she adored every moment spent with them. Sue's warm spirit lives on through those she leaves behind.

Sue will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her warm presence and infectious smile brightened the lives of those around her. Her kindness and compassion touched the hearts of everyone she met.
