Lenora Ann "Annie"
(Allen) and Rev. Pablo Alvarado Tombstone Photo Ochelata Cemetery Washington County, Oklahoma
Ann Alvarado, Bartlesville resident aged 83, was in Dewey when she was
called home by her Heavenly Father.
Lenora Ann Allen, affectionately known as “Annie” to her family and Ann
to friends, was born on Sept. 9, 1934, in Barnsdall, OK, the daughter of
Oliver Franklin and Zola Cora (Holt) Allen. Her earthly father was a
Fire Baptized Holiness preacher and the family lived in various
communities during her growing up years. They settled in Ochelata after
her father died when she was 17. Ann graduated from Ochelata High School
and went to work for Phillips Petroleum Co.
Most likely while taking her lunch break Ann met a nice young serviceman
at the Flat Iron restaurant on Frank Phillips Blvd. Pablo Alvarado who
was stationed on Radar Hill, had first seen her on New Year’s Eve two
months earlier and went back many times until he chanced upon her again.
He asked her out and instead, she invited him to church the next day. On
Aug. 3, 1957, Ann was united in marriage with Pablo. Shortly before
Pablo was deployed to Japan and Ann took their young daughter Linda to
Pharr, TX, in the Rio Grande valley to live with his family. Once home
Pablo took a teaching position in Pekin, IL, where a second daughter
Anna Lisa was born. His teaching positions took them to Shidler Oklahoma
and to Texas where Ann started her 20-plus year career with the Texas
Education Service Center. Later in life Pablo entered the ministry and
Ann was an active part of his ministry using her talents on the piano.
Once retired they returned to Bartlesville to be closer to loved ones in
1995.
Ann’s passions in life centered on God, Pablo and her girls. She was
funny, kind and had a fabulous sense of humor. Ann and Pablo loved to
travel and a real highlight among many trips was their memorable trip to
Europe visiting several countries including Germany and France.
Ann is survived by her husband Rev. Pablo Alvarado of Bartlesville; two
daughters Linda Carson and Dr. Scott Carson of Laurel, MS, and Anna Lisa
Alvarado of Bartlesville; two brothers, Joedy Allen and Margaret of

Obit for Pablo posted by Ann Weber
Apr 19, 1933 - Mar 9, 2019
Rev. Pablo Alvarado, faithful minister, teacher, veteran and longtime
Bartlesville resident aged 85, died in his sleep in Bartlesville
Saturday. He joins his Lord and Savior, and his wife Ann, who preceded
him in death just a few days shy of a year ago.
With determination and a bit of luck (or divine blessing), Pablo had
finally met the love of his life Lenora Ann Allen, most likely while she
was taking her lunch break from working at Phillips Petroleum, at the
Flat Iron restaurant on Frank Phillips Blvd. At the time, Pablo was a
young serviceman who was stationed on Radar Hill – he had first seen her
on New Year’s Eve two months earlier and went back many times until he
chanced upon her again. He asked her out and instead, Ann – the daughter
of a Fire Baptized Holiness preacher - invited Pablo to church the next
day. He found in Ann a Godly woman and soul mate who was lovely, kind
and had a fabulous sense of humor. On Aug. 3, 1957, Pablo and Ann were
united in marriage. They enjoyed 60 years of happy marriage before Ann’s
passing last March.
Shortly before Pablo was deployed to Japan, Ann and their young daughter
Linda, moved to Pharr, TX in the Rio Grande Valley to live with Pablo’s
family. Once home, Pablo took a teaching position in Pekin, IL, where a
second daughter, Anna Lisa was born. His teaching positions took them to
Shidler, OK and to Texas, where both Pablo and Ann started their careers
with the Texas Education System.
Pablo had a brilliant mind and accomplished much in one lifetime – in
addition to a BA in Mathematics and certification in Education, he
earned a Masters in Computer Science and one in Mathematics, before
changing fields mid-career.
Later in life, Pablo received his calling to the ministry – his car was
hit by lightning and blew a tire, yet Pablo miraculously survived by
God’s grace. He entered seminary at Perkins School of Theology at
Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX and earned a Master of
Divinity before going on to minister in at least six churches throughout
Texas. Ann was an active partner and pianist in his ministry. Once
retired they returned to Bartlesville to be closer to loved ones in
1995.
Pablo had a great thirst for knowledge and was always learning
volunteering for the church community. Pablo and Ann loved to travel and
a real highlight among many trips, was their memorable trip to Europe
visiting several countries including Germany and France.
Pablo is survived by his two daughters, Linda Carson and Dr. Scott
Carson of Laurel, MS and Anna Lisa Alvarado of Bartlesville; four
grandchildren, Melissa Ann Carson Pichon and Severin of Huntsville, AL,
David Prescott Carson and Rachel Carson of Virginia Beach, VA, Patricia
Ann DeGroot and David DeGroot of Houston and Sgt. First Class John
Musser III and Kallista Musser of Cypress, TX; 10 great grandchildren;
four siblings, Rudolfo Alvarado, Xico Alvarado, Juventino Alvarado, and
Diamantina Hayes; and a host of other family and friends.
He was
preceded in death by his parents Jose and San Juana, wife Ann and four
brothers, Jose, Ricardo, Adolfo, and sister, Argentina Gonzalez.
Please no flowers. In lieu of them, all memorials being made, are to
bless Southeastern Baptist College, 4229 Hwy. 15 North, Laurel, MS
39440.
Services are under the direction and care of Carter Davis and the Davis
Family Funeral Home.
