Allene Bowman Harrington

Rosa Allene Bowman Harrington, age 91, formerly of the Hiddenite Community entered into her heavenly home on Thursday, July 29, 2021. Such a glorious day for her!

Ms. Harrington resided in Hudson, NC the past six years of her life and was in good health until a brief illness within the past week. She was active and loved participating in exercise, bicycle, and water activities at PACE. She preferred being on the go and never met a stranger. She was a caregiver at heart and had a unique sense of humor. Ms. Allene spent endless hours each day reading, and her family could depend on her as a prayer warrior for each of them daily.

In past years Ms. Allene was faithful to be found reading devotions and singing songs about Jesus for nursing facilities in Alexander County. She loved her church and was a devoted member of Rocky Springs Methodist as long as her health and ability allowed.

Allene was born on April 22, 1930, the third daughter of the late Dewey William Bowman and Bessie Nola McAlpin Bowman of the Liledoun Community.

Ms. Harrington is proceeded in death along with her beloved parents by her husband, Lynn Harrington (1927-1983); a sister, Ophelia Martin (1927-2017); a brother, Marshall Bowman (1934-2018).
