Christa Gerda Allen was a Beech Island, South Carolina, resident whose life was marked by family, faith, friendship, and the quiet pleasures she loved. Born in Berlin, Germany, on October 31, 1936, she later made her home in the United States and spent many years surrounded by the people she loved. She was not a public figure in the conventional sense, and no Wikipedia biography exists for her. This memorial draws on the obituary published by The Aiken Standard on Legacy.com and by Hatcher Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Graniteville, which handled her arrangements.

She worked for Carroll Fabrics and was a longtime member of Parksville Baptist Church. Her faith was a steady source of comfort. Friends remembered her playful spirit and sense of humor. She enjoyed bingo, crossword puzzles, game shows, and cheering for the Atlanta Braves. Among her closest companions were Ann Parker, a friend of 52 years whom she regarded as a sister, and Herma Schmidt.

Family was at the center of her life. She was the widow of Lindbergh Allen and the mother of Leon Allen and Cynthia Anderson. She was a grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband, by her granddaughter Natalie Day, and by her son-in-law Michael Anderson.

Mrs. Allen died peacefully at home on Friday, September 18, 2026, at the age of 89. The family and the funeral home shared Psalm 116:15 in remembrance: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." Her memory lives on in the everyday moments her family still wishes to share with her.

Biography adapted from Obituary published by The Aiken Standard on Legacy.com and Hatcher Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Graniteville, South Carolina.

In their own words

Never knew her, just saw the notice from Hatcher Funeral Home this morning. Graniteville is a small enough place that a name like that still gets passed around.
