Allyn Howard Smith

Allyn was born on May 29, 1947 in Pittsburgh, PA and was the son of the late Estella and William Smith, Sr. After a lengthy illness, he was called home on July 30, 2019 at the VA Medical Center in Aspinwall.

Allyn graduated from South Hills High School in 1965 and immediately joined the Air Force. He often spoke of his service and was proud to join the ranks of other family members who have served our country. After leaving the military, Allyn returned to Pittsburgh and enjoyed working for the Pittsburgh Port Authority. He then moved to Phoenix, AZ where he received certification as an electronic technician and was employed by Honeywell.

Allyn leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Deborah Jones Smith, 5 children: son, Allyn, daughters, Monica, Jowharah (Michael), Rajeeyah, and Aaliyah, 9 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild; his sisters, Oteria Cotten (James), Gwendolyn Tyler, Antoinette Higginbotham (Benjamin), and brother, William Smith, Jr. (Debbie) and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
