OBITUARY
 

Patsy C. (Rice) Allman PATSY C. ALLMAN, 73, of Carrollton, Texas passed from this life Monday, March 15th in Carrollton. She was the daughter of Elbert and Christine Eubank Rice and was born in Dallas April 26, 1936. Upon graduating from North Dallas High School, Patsy attended Howard Payne University where she met her late husband Murray Allman. In addition to serving as a teacher (music and second grade) for Dallas Independent School District, she used her music talent to serve as a pianist/accompanist and choir member in her church. She was her sons' first music teacher, and gave her four grandchildren piano lessons during the few summers she babysat them. She retired from teaching in the early 1990's. Patsy exceeded customary mother and caregiver roles, always providing a spirit of genuine affection toward her family and friends. She never took no for an answer when offering food and drinks for guests. Her servant heart was an example of a noteworthy love for others and a love for her Lord. She gave much of her time to reading the Bible and learning verses. So much that she was able to lead her son, Paul, to Christ at a young age. Described as an "angel supreme" by her sister, Annette, her love for others turned full circle as she was loved by others. Survivors include her sons, Paul Edward Allman and his wife, Terry of Carrollton and Carl Allman of Clinton, Mississippi;; four grandchildren, Kristin, Michael, David and Hannah and a sister, Annette Tyler of Carrollton. Visitation was at Rhoton Funeral Home from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 18th and funeral services were at 1 p.m. Friday, March 19th at the First Baptist Church of Carrollton with Rip Cannon and Dr. Wayne Allen officiating. Interment followed at the Crown Hill Memorial Park in Dallas. Pallbearers were David Allman, Christ Tyler, Michael Allman, Christopher Swinney, John Beasley and Dan Kingrey. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the First Baptist Church Carrollton, Music and Worship Ministry, 2400 N. Josey Lane, Carrollton, TX. 75006, Arranged by Rhoton Funeral Home.
