Roy and Sue met in San Antonio, Texas in 1959 while Roy was serving in the U.S. Air Force, and Sue was working for USAA and living at the local YWCA. They were married in Junction, Texas on July 23, 1960. Being a military family, they spent many of their early years together overseas, living for a number of years in each of Italy, England, and Greece, and having their three sons along the way.

Upon their return to the United States they resided in Maryland for several years before finally returning to Texas after Roy’s retirement from the Air Force, and settling in Austin.

For many years the family resided in – what was then – far south Austin, and Sue commuted downtown to work in the office of the Texas Comptroller. With all of the children out of the house, Sue and Roy moved out to the country, buying a house on 10 acres in Liberty Hill, Texas in 1994. Sue retired from the State of Texas in 1997.

By 2017 Roy and Sue were on the move again, moving to Ohio to be near Roy’s sister Genevieve (Jenny) and her family. However the Texan in Sue called once again and in 2020 the pair moved back to Liberty Hill, Texas.

A visitation was held at Beck Funeral Home in Cedar Park, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on Sunday May 2, 2021. Memorial services and final remembrance were held at the same location on Monday, May 3, 2021 starting at 12:00pm (noon), followed by a short graveside service at Onion Creek Memorial Park in San Leanna, Texas.

Larry Allman

On November 30, 2021, Larry Allman passed away unexpectedly in his home in Liberty Hill, Texas. Larry was 64 years old.

Larry was born on September 14, 1957 in Paris, France. He graduated Georgetown High School in 1976 and went on to join the US Air Force from 1976-1980. He went to Ranger Junior College from 1981-1982 before transferring to Tarleton State University from 1983-1984.

Larry worked with Williamson County for 25 years before he decided to retire.

Larry was always, by far, the most “Colorful Character” in Liberty Hill.

He had endless energy and a strong sense of purpose that made it feel like he was running circles around you. There are a lot of things you could call Larry Allman, but boring is not one of them. He made it his mission to laugh, learn, and have as much fun as possible while he was on this Earth.

Larry held those he loved close to his heart and was always one to jump in and help anyone who needed it.

He loved to play golf, and he was really good at it! So many people tried to get him to join teams and leagues, but he just played for fun.

Larry was not an animal person at all; but, when he found the right dog that was for him, he spoiled them rotten. They were his loving and loyal companions for many years.

Larry was a proud father of 3 beautiful girls, and a loving grandfather of 11. Canyon, Mason, Sophie, Morgan, Sky, Addy, Tyler, Hunter, Levi, Kenzie & Chance. He loved each and every one of them so much, and I know he was looking forward to seeing what type of young men and women they would turn out to be. All of the grand babies knew that when they went to grandpa’s house, they were going to have a great time. And could expect him to be waiting for them with an animal mask on the front porch. He always had homemade ice cream ready for them in the summer and homemade Rice Krispy treats in the winter months.

Larry Allman lived like no one else, so he could LIVE like no one else.

He is going to be missed by so many, and we know that his memory and stories will keep him alive and well in this town for many decades to come.

Larry is survived by his mother, Jane Allman of Liberty Hill, Texas. Three daughters: Megan Delynn Conradt of Pflugerville, TX., Courtney Danielle Merritt from Rogers, TX, & Ashley Renee Meadows from Lorena, TX. His brother, John Allman of LH TX. His three sisters, Becky Brizendine of Bertram, TX. Jessica McLane of Bertram, TX. Angel Allman of LH, TX. And his brother, Matt Allman of Leander, TX. And his life long best friend Bobby Brown of LH, TX.

Larry was preceded in death by his father Roy Allman, his sister Linda Nelson and his Grandson Mason Merritt.

A memorial will be held at a later date. The family will give further notice on the day and time.
