His Legacy Will Live On

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas received an estate gift from Mr. Eutus H. Allen of Dallas, who passed last year at the age of 101. Mr. Allen generously willed half his estate to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. A man of faith, the other half of his estate benefitted his church.

Mr. Allen was born in Bokchito, Oklahoma, and spent his early years on a farm amidst the challenges of the Great Depression. He later moved to San Diego, California, where he worked in construction. He continued his path to Dallas, where he undertook specialized training in aeronautical construction at the United Aircraft Institute. Subsequently, he devoted 38 years to the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. as a skilled glass cutter before retiring.

Wendy Gilbert, the Foundation’s Director of Legacy & Gift Planning, notes that, “We are eternally grateful for Mr. Allen’s foresight and generosity. His gift benefits the Texas Health Dallas 365 Fund designed to help meet the specific needs of patients and staff in that hospital. It will go a long way in improving patient care in his local community.”
