Lorena "Rena" Allen's Obituary
Mrs. Lorena M. “Rena” Allen, 89, of Lithia Springs, GA went home to be with her Lord on Monday, January 29, 2018.
Rena was born in Inman, SC on July 22, 1928. She was the youngest child of nine of the late Mr. Samuel E. Miller and Mrs. Birdie Huntley Miller.

Allen (Ami Sullivan) of Smyrna; son, Warren Allen of Lithia Springs; daughter and son-in-law Sherrie and Frank Cloud of Lithia Springs; son and daughter-in-law Reggie and Veronica Allen of Hiram; and several nieces and nephews.
