Noble C Allen

Weslaco - On January 3, 2016, Noble Curtis Allen, age 61, died at Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Round Rock, Texas after valiantly fighting a lengthy battle of diabetes and related complications.

Noble was born on August 14, 1954 in Mercedes, Texas to the late Paul and Beatrice Allen. He began his education at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School and finished high school as Valedictorian of the Weslaco Class of 1972. He graduated from Pan American University in 1976 with a BBA in Accounting. After passing the CPA exam and working for several accounting firms in the valley, he became a partner in the firm that is currently Salinas, Allen and Schmitt.

He met the love of his life, “his angel”, Sharon Fuller, and made her his wife in August of 1982.

Noble had a caring heart, the most wonderful sense of humor, unwavering faith, and loved his friends and family unconditionally. He was proud to be a Catholic and loved praying to his God, his Mother Mary and his Saints. He was always ready and willing to help anyone in need and shared his faith and positive outlook on life with each and every person he encountered. His favorite enjoyment of late was spending time with his grandson, Mikey.

Until his recent move to Georgetown, he was a lifelong resident of Weslaco. Noble was very instrumental in almost every civic and charitable organization in town. He served on the board of Knapp Medical Center for 30 years and was co-founder of Harvest Night. He also served on the Texas Healthcare Trustee board and was chairman in 2000. He was President of the THT Foundation and influential in starting its annual Silent Auction, which would eventually be named in his honor. In 2006, he was honored with the THT Founder’s Award for his dedicated service. Only two years after his college graduation, he was named Jaycee of the Year in Weslaco. Noble was president of the Weslaco Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Lion’s Club, Weslaco CrimeStoppers, and the UTPA Alumni Association. He was past treasurer of the Rio Grande Valley Chamber of Commerce, board member of the Weslaco Museum, chair of both the Weslaco Onion and Sugar Cane Festivals, and a recipient of Weslaco’s Man of the Year Award as well as the Rio Grande Valley Walk of Fame.

Noble is survived by his beloved wife, Sharon, and daughters, Michelle (Chris) Comsudi and Kristen Allen. He leaves behind a grandson, Michael Constantine Comsudi and siblings John (Ellen) Allen, David (Belinda) Allen, and Mary Lou Allen along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Beatrice Allen and his stillborn brother, Andrew.

Visitation will begin at 11 am on Wednesday, January 6, at McCaleb Funeral Home in Weslaco followed by a Rosary at 7 pm. Funeral Mass will be held at 10 am on Thursday, January 7, at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Weslaco. Burial will take place on Saturday, January 9, at Noon at Our Lady of the Rosary Cemetery in Georgetown, Texas.

We will miss his laughter, his love, his jokes and his bright and positive spirit. We have a true guardian angel watching over us.
