Allen Dewayne McMillen, 87, of Summers School Road, Morgantown, passed away at his residence on May 22, 2024, in the comfort of his family.
Allen was born on Nov. 15, 1936, in Morgantown, a son of the late Lester Wayne and Laura Verna Nicholson McMillen.
Survivors include his wife, Loretta Lynn Lewis McMillen, whom he married Sept. 9, 1984; five children, Kevin Allen McMillen and wife, Linda, and Kathy Lynn Barr and husband, Vance, all of Morgantown, Janet Sue Poling and husband, Kevin, of Rivesville, Allison Kay Scott and husband, Will, of Smithfield, Pa., and Andrea Nicole McMillen, of Morgantown; nine grandchildren, Joseph McMillen and wife, Katherine, of Pittsburgh, Dr. Cynthia McMillen, of Pittsburgh, Katelyn Baker and husband, Sebastian, of Masontown, W.Va., Kiera Poling, of Pittsburgh, Amanda Funderburg and husband, Jason, of West Conshohocken, Pa., Douglas Poling, of Rivesville, Megan Barr, of Morgantown, Ethan Barr, of Morgantown, and Nicholas Poling, of Rivesville; three great-grandchildren, Abigail Baker, Isobel McMillen and Addisyn Baker; a sister, Carolyn Williams and husband, Dave, of Morgantown; a brother, Gary McMillen and wife, Nora, of Morgantown; and several nieces and nephews. Allen also leaves behind his beloved dogs.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, Norman Loraine “Bubbles” McMillen, formerly of Morgantown.
Allen was a hardworking man as a farmer on his family farm for many years and doing masonry work as a bricklayer with Local Union #15. He enjoyed birdwatching and was a diehard WVU and Pittsburgh sports fan. He was witty and had a great sense of humor. He was staunch in faith and very religious. But above all, he was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother who will be missed dearly by his family and friends.
The last six weeks of Allen’s life were spent at home with his family and being cared for by Courtney, Carla and the wonderful folks at WV Caring Hospice, whom the family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to for the care and love they showed to him.
Allen’s request was to keep things simple. In doing so, he will be cremated, and a private family committal service will be held at Nicholson Chapel Cemetery at a later date.
Until we meet again at the feet of Jesus…
Smith Funeral & Cremation Care and SFCC Crematory, of Westover/Morgantown, is providing compassionate professional services to the family.
