Allene was a cherished figure in her family and community. Known affectionately as “Baby Grandma” to her grandchildren; to her friends she was known as “Grandma Lattimore," and “Mama” or “Little Lady” to her children, she was a source of warmth and care.

She leaves to cherish her memories, three biological children; Glenda Lattimore, of Byram, MS; James Lattimore of Ethel, MS; and Carolyn Lattimore-Jones (Monty) of Byram, MS; her niece Allice “Lisa” Lattimore of Jackson, MS, who she helped to raise as her own; one sister Zula M. Merritt (Robert); one brother Ralph Lattimore, both of Nashville, TN; two sisters-in-law, Stella M. Lattimore and Janice Lattimore, both of Ethel, MS and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces/nephews, friends, and extended family.
