Minerva Coker Allen, a cherished member of the Greenhill, Alabama community, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 5, 1934, Minerva’s life was a testament to love, faith, and service.
Minerva was a devoted member of Shiloh Church of Christ for 66 years, where she selflessly served through various ministries, finding joy in giving her time and heart to the church and its families. Her greatest joy was preparing meals filled with love and warmth, a gift she generously shared with anyone in need.
She was married to her beloved husband, Henry Douglas Allen, for 64 beautiful years, and together they built a family rich in love and legacy. Minerva was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose compassion, grace, humor, and kindness touched everyone who knew her.
Minerva is survived by her daughter, Judy Allen Kirk (Michael); granddaughters, Allison Hope Roberson (Hunter) and Katie Morgan Richardson (Noah); and great-grandchildren, Waike, Ryker, and Kolten. She is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews who cherished her deeply.
Minerva’s legacy is one of quiet strength, unwavering faith, and a heart that loved without measure. She will be deeply missed but remembered in every warm meal, act of kindness, and story told around the family table.
The Allen Family will receive family members and friends on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at Greenhill Funeral Home. The funeral service will be officiated by Tim Grigsby and Hoby Grace, with burial to follow at Shiloh Cemetery.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff at NHC in Lawrenceburg for their loving and continued care.
Minerva’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
