While Greg Allman found success for his talent as a musician, his daughter, Delialah Island Allman, spent years studying to become a registered nurse before she finally reached that goal.

In light of a recent accolade, the nurse credited her love for all children, including her own, and her famous father — whom she sadly lost — for her success in the medical field she hopes to build upon.

Greg's daughter also graduated with a degree in Automotive Technology from Santa Barbara City College in 2002 and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the Dominican University of California in San Rafael in 2006.

Delialah has since shown no signs of slowing down, as her passion for caring for the underserved has seen the nurse serve as a member of the American Nurses Association, the Maryland Nurses Association, and the Psi Chi Honor Society.

Delialah's husband also works in the medical field as a Neurosurgeon.

Greg's daughter eventually had all her hard work acknowledged in 2021 when she was included in Marquis Who's Who, a biographical source of "the most accomplished individuals and innovators from every significant field of endeavor."

Following the impressive recognition, Delialah revealed her children, her professors' help and encouragement, and her late father were the forces behind her success.

Delialah had little social media presence at the time of writing. However, in November 2016, her brother, Devon, turned to Facebook and shared a rare snap of his sister in honor of her birthday. The following year, Delialah and her brother appeared on their father's Facebook account in a picture of all three of them at an event.

In 2011, after his sister and her husband, Khalid Kurtom, said "I do," Devon gushed on social media, "Ok , I gotta gush here ...my sister Island's wedding pix ...what a fantastic day." Delialah's husband also works in the medical field as a Neurosurgeon. And in 2010, a clip of the newlyweds dancing to "Unchained Melody" was shared on social media.

Delialah and her husband have since welcomed a son and a daughter, and a few months ago, Greg's daughter shared in a post that she was relocating to Washington, D.C., and was looking for a nursing job that would allow her to be a hands-on mother.
