Carol Ann Allen
March 18, 1936 - February 20, 2014 Carol Ann Allen was married to Rev. C.A.
McBride on June 4th, 1954. She was blessed with the birth of her only
daughter Mary Ann on July 4th, 1962. She helped her husband start his
ministry as an Assembly of God pastor in Carlsbad, NM and together they

She gave 35 years to ministry as a pastor's wife, church secretary,
Sunday School Teacher, and playing the organ. Her love for horses,
especially her Paint – Prince – awarded her the nickname "The Rodeo
Queen". She rode horses all over Coppell with her daughter. Many
memories were made shopping at Prestonwood Mall. She got the finest
service at all the restaurants she visited because of her friendly
personality. She never forgot anything including birthdays and
anniversaries and would never forget to send cards to everyone on their
special days. It was a ministry that touched thousands of lives. Even in
the many hospitals, she knew ever nurse, worker and doctor by name and
they treated her with the best care because of her sweet spirit.
The last 2 years of her life were spent in hospitals and rehab centers
but she never gave up on life until she was ready to meet her Savior.
She will be remembered for her sweet spirit, incredible memory, great
food she cooked, her love for Chinese food, her Dooney & Bourke purses,
her many, many shoes, ‘old green car' and the Mercury Grand Marque car
given to them on their 25th Church Anniversary.
