Allen Jesse Schrock, 95, of Scottsburg, Indiana, passed away on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at his home. He was born October 14, 1923, in Tiskilwa, Illinois. Allen served in the US Army and was stationed in France from 1943-1947. While there he became a part of The Conqueror’s Gospel Quartet, a group that continued to sing together for many years.
Allen married Doris Reynolds on June 22, 1950. Following Allen’s graduation from the University of North Carolina in 1952 he began a career in education, teaching at West Goshen Elementary School, John Marshall Elementary School, and serving as the principal of both Greene Township and North Liberty Elementary Schools. As long time members of Yellow Creek Mennonite Church, Allen and Doris helped to establish Waterford Mennonite Church in Goshen, IN and Community Mennonite Church in South Bend, IN.
Early in their retirement years Allen and Doris enjoyed a year serving international students, working with the Mennonite Central Committee near Paris, France. Allen and Doris relocated from the Goshen area, where they had been long time residents, to Scottsburg in 2008 to live near their youngest daughter. Allen loved traveling, meeting distant relatives, gardening, collecting unusual rocks and creating stone walls. One of his greatest joys was his family, by whom he will be greatly missed and most fondly remembered.
