It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mary Wilkes Allen. Born in Orangeburg, SC on September 4, 1942 to the late Robert and Irma Wilkes.
She was a proud mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She valued everyone. God and her family always came first. From a young age her sights were set on being a leader and helper. Being a nurse at Lexington Medical Center was the highlight of her nursing career. She devoted many years to her career and enjoyed every minute of it. She loved to travel and watch the ocean at any chance she had.
Surviving include her brothers, Bobby and Gene Wilkes; daughter, Mary Allison Okey-Bell; and her grandchildren, Mary Megan, Joseph Wright, Justin Riley Okey, Lakin, Landon, Logan, and Lacie Hinson. May she rest in peace with love and gratitude from her family.
She is predeceased by her sons, John John Hinson and Wilkes Hinson; and her husband, Jim Allen.
Graveside service will be held 3:30 pm on Friday, March 24, 2023 at Woodridge Memorial Park. Barr-Price Funeral Home and Crematorium, Lexington Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
