Homer M. Allen

Homer M. Allen of Bella Vista, Arkansas, went home to the Lord after a long, courageous battle with cancer on Sunday, January 3 , 2016 at Circle of Life Hospice in Bentonville, Arkansas. Mr. Allen was born on April 11, 1928 in Wichita, Kansas to Orville and Marie Haas Allen. Mr. Allen worked as an electrician and retired from IBEW 697 in 1990. He was an active member of the IBEW for 65 years. After retirement, he traveled nationwide with his wife Marcia for seven years. Homer is survived by his wife of 56 years, Marcia Allen; one sister, Lucille Gilbert, of Wichita, Kansas; many nieces, nephews and friends. Homer was from an era when a handshake, or his word, was a bond, and his friendship was everlasting. He may be gone, but he certainly is not forgotten. Mr. Allen was a member of Village Bible Church where a memorial service will be held on Friday, January 8, 2016, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Village Bible Church, 1591 Forest Hills Blvd. Bella Vista, Arkansas 72715 or Circle of Life Hospice, 1202 N.E.
