of Little Rock, AR
November 1, 1923 - November 11, 2023
Allein Beall, Jr., 100, of Little Rock AR, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2023, with his beloved wife, Jean Stevenson Beall, by his side. Allein met Jean on a blind date while attending the University of Arkansas, and it was love at first sight. They were married in Jonesboro on August 28, 1946, and shared 77 years of marriage, one of the longest recorded in the state.
Allein was born in Helena AR, on November 1, 1923, to his parents - Elizabeth ?Puds? Coolidge Beall and Allein Beall, Sr. ? where he grew up with his older sister, Cornelia Beall Graham Hockridge, younger brother William Upton Beall, and his grandmother Cornelia (Nina) Polk Coolidge (all of whom preceded him in death.)
Allein was a Navy Lieutenant and fighter pilot during World War II. He joined his father in the family brokerage business, The Beall Company, Inc. He was a master at wood working and restoring antiques. Allein served for many years as the Jr. and Sr. Warden at St. John?s Episcopal Church.
His greatest joy and pride in life came from being ?Daddy? to his three daughters,
?PawPaw? to his six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, and close friends with his three sons-in-law. Just a few days before his passing, Allein celebrated his 100th birthday with family and shared many stories and adventures from his long life.
Survivors include his wife Jean Stevenson Beall; his daughters and sons-in-law: Elizabeth ?Tootsie? and Ron Hickman of Memphis, Nina and Edmond Waters of Little Rock, Jeanie and Jim Berna of Little Rock; his grandchildren: J. Hickman (Sissy), Pat Hickman (Stephanie), Laura Waters Hinson (Tommy), Angela Waters Dow, AJ Berna (Liz), Nate Berna; and 13 great-grandchildren.
A graveside service will take place at Maple Hill Cemetery in Helena on Thursday, November 16, at 1 pm.
A memorial service will be held at St. Andrews Anglican Church in Little Rock on Friday, November 17, at 11 am.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Johns Episcopal Church in Helena, St. Andrews Anglican Church in Little Rock, or to a charity of your choice.

My thoughts are with the family of a wonderful, gentle man. He and Jean were great friends to my parents, and I am flooded with memories. I remember a lake house, and how patient your dad was teaching us to water ski. He and my dad loved to trade war stories. He had a great life surrounded by the people he loved most.

The Beall's and Aitkens were neighbors for a number of years on Park Ave. and Allein and Monk were in the Class of 41. I have many good memories of all those class reunions we shared. Allein was a real Southern gentleman and he and Jean were truly soulmates. He was likely the last person remaining from that class and Jean and I are not far behind. I will be 95 in January. I send my condolences to his loving family and know they will cherish many memories.

I met the wonderful Bealls in 2019 when they came to live at Brookdale. They were incredibly easy to adore. I loved visiting with them and hearing their stories. This breaks my heart. Such a sweet man and wonderful half of a completely precious couple. My heart goes out to Tootsie, Nina, Jeanie and Ms. Jean. May you find peace and comfort in this time of great loss.
