Obituary

Allen K. Hambrick, 92, of Charleston, breathed his final breath here and went home to be with his Lord and Savior on December 16, 2014, after a short illness. Preceding him in death were his wife, Georgia; parents, Alfred and Della; five brothers; and two sisters. Our Dad was a Christian who loved to read and study the Bible. For the past 60 years he served the Most High God and was known by friends and family as a man of integrity and great faith. He was a good, decent, and hard-working man his entire life. All who were fortunate to know him will miss his humor and quick-wit, his thoughtfulness, his caring attitude, inspiration, and wisdom. He was unselfish and reached out a helping hand to all and affected the lives of many. He was a veteran who loved and served his country with honor on the Amphibious Attack Transport USS Hunter Liggett with the United States Coast Guard during WWII. His assignment was with the medical department where he took care of sick and injured patients and also assisted in the operating room. Allen was a 20 year store manager for Kroger and a 27 year store manager for O.V. Smith & Sons. He retired in 1989 and has done volunteer work for the Charleston Mountain Mission Social Services Department for the past 25 years. He faithfully attended the Charleston Mountain Mission daily and sang in the radio broadcast choir. When the broadcast was finished, he volunteered several hours sorting and shelving donated food. Then he would box up food to be given to those in need. Many times he would take boxes of his own food to people in need that he met while shopping around Charleston. Survivors include his loving daughters, Carolyn Sue (Jerry) Cavender of Kenna and Linda Jean DeFrehn of Royal Palm Beach, FL; son, Bradley Allen (Robin) Hambrick of Charleston; grandchildren, Megan, Amanda, Jerry II, Andrea, and Holly; great-grandchildren, Natalia, Isaac, Mya, Keylee, Dakota, and soon to be born Giovanni; several nephews, and wonderful nieces, including Shirley and Doris; and family friend, Reba. Funeral Services will be 2:00 PM Saturday, December 20, 2014 at Charleston Mountain Mission Church with Rev. Tim Price officiating. Burial will be 1:00 PM Monday at Elk Hills Memorial Park, Big Chimney, with military Rites provided by American Legion Post 61, Clendenin.
