William E. “Bill” Allen, 69, of Cameron, NC passed away at the ManorCare Skilled Nursing Facility on Tuesday, February 13th.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Burial with full military honors will be held at Arlington National Cemetery.

Born in Clifton Springs, N.Y. Oct. 9th, 1948, he was the son of the late C. Herbert and Jean Allen. After his high school graduation, Bill entered the U.S. Navy. Bill left the Navy for a short time to earn his Nursing Degree before being commissioned as an Officer. He attended George Washington University in D.C. where he got his degree as a Nurse Anesthetist. It was while tending to a patient’s needs that Bill met, and later married, Janel A. Bergman. He retired from the Navy in 1997 and moved to the Fayetteville area after the Southeast Regional Medical Center in Lumberton aggressively recruited him.

In addition to his loving wife Janel, Bill is survived by his sons: Chad Allen, wife Michelle, of Tampa FL. and Ben Allen, Wife Cara, of Germantown, FL. He was the grandfather of Cheyenne, Piper and Kiera. He was the brother of David Allen and Debbie Brown, both of The Villages, FL.
