Oswald Allen
In Loving Memory
It is with gratitude for a life well lived that we announce the passing of Oswald Gustaviu Allen, affectionately known as Pops, Papa, Bro. Allen, Ossie, and Breda As.
Born on August 4, 1926, in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, Oswald was a hardworking, gifted carpenter and lifelong learner. His skill and dedication were evident in the homes, furniture, and projects he built throughout his life, always using his talents to serve both family and community.
In 1955, he married Albertine Clemenson. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, one son, and one daughter. He leaves to cherish his memory five daughters, ten grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and many extended family members and dear friends.
Oswald will be remembered for his sense of humour, sharp memory, generosity, skilled hands, and enduring love for his family, church, and community. His life was a blessing, and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
The family is grateful for the many expressions of kindness, prayers, and support they have received.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Bro. Allen “Pops” may be made

Kenya.
