Roger Grey Allen was born March 11, 1921 and departed this life on April 27, 2015 at the age of 94. Roger spent much of his life on a farm west of Leedey, Oklahoma, with the exception of living in Pampa, Texas from 1956 – 1962, where he worked at a Shamrock service station, and the last several years of his life where he made his home in the town of Leedey.

Roger graduated from Liberty Center High School in 1942 and began his lifelong occupation of farming and ranching. In June of 1948 he married "his girl," Wilda Bray, and their son, Richard Gary Allen; "the boy" was born.

Roger enjoyed many roles: a farmer/rancher raising Charlois cattle, school bus driver, substitute mail carrier, basketball coach, and service station attendant. He loved the mornings at the Leedey Lumber Yard as a coffee drinker, historian, and a problem solver.

Roger was an avid sports fan and he planned his days around whether or not there was a game in town. One of his fondest memories was coaching a girl's basketball team at Liberty Center. In his later years, he seldom missed a game that was played in Leedey. He loved his Leedey Bison.

Roger's hobbies included playing horseshoes, gardening, drawing, and woodcarving.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Richard N. "Dick" and Olive Allen; his sisters, Georgia Jackson and Anna Noyes; and his brother, John Allen.

He leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 66 years, Wilda Allen, and his son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Charla Allen of Leedey, as well as four granddaughters: Richalle Cicioni and her husband, Jason, of Cortland, New York; Richanne Kegans and her husband, Travis, of Farmington, Arkansas; Alicia Stotts and her husband, Jimmy, of Wellston, Oklahoma; and CharLee McClellan and her husband, Abraham of Yukon, Oklahoma. He also leaves behind six great-grandchildren: Raylee and Tait Kegans; Anthony, Isabella and Marcuss Cicioni; and Olivia Stotts, nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.
