Allen Louis Phillipe, an Air Force veteran, passed away on
May 23, 2019 at the age of 75 at St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington, LA.
He was born in Pasadena, California and lived in Abita Springs for the last 6
years of his life. He served honorably as an Air Force Sergeant with
Intelligence in Vietnam and also spent eight months training with the Marines
at Paris Island. He met the love of his life, Mrs. Carol Brown Phillipe after
Vietnam. When he returned from his tour overseas and left the military, he used
his vast talents in many fields of expertise, but he thrived in the field of
technology. He also had a passion for assisting veterans. When he retired and
moved to Abita Springs, he became very active in taking care of many veterans
through the organizations in which he belonged. For his brothers and sisters in
Christ, he served as a Eucharistic Minister for Saint Jane de Chantal, and held
4th Degree with the Knights of Columbus. For his brothers and sisters-in-arms,
he served as the Secretary for Wounded War Heroes; a service officer of the
American Legion post 415 in Mandeville, LA; a service officer and advocate for
District 9, post 8720 Veterans of Foreign Affairs in Abita Springs, LA, the
lead volunteer for the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs in St. Tammany
Parish; and even assisted St. Tammany Parish Hospital's veterans through the
Red, White, and Blue Program. Allen is survived by his loving wife of 49 &
½ years, Mrs. Carol Phillipe. They have two beautiful daughters, Nikki
Chenevert and Anne Phillipe; and four grandchildren: Alex Phillipe, and
Brandon, Lauren, and Emily Chenevert. He is the son of the late, Louis and
Eunice Phillipe. He will be immensely missed by family and friends.
