Margarete Allion Obituary
Margarete G. Allion, age 76, of Mint Hill, NC, passed away December 23, 2009 after a short and unexpected illness. Born in September of 1933 in Munich Germany, Margarete is the daughter of Caecilie Zedelmaier and Johann Herrmann.
She leaves to cherish her memory her immediate family members; husband, Bud Allion; son, Michael Allion and wife, Kim; grandchildren, Jessica and Nicolas Allion; and her daughter, Erika Phillips and husband, Bill. She is also survived by her sister, Inge Miller. Margarete's absence is also keenly felt by a host of extended family member, friends and neighbors.
We will all miss her desire to make the world a better place, her ability to find humor in every situation and the love she showed everyone who knew her. She is now our Christmas angel and can keep watch over us all.
Special thanks go to all her doctors and staff that provided such incredible care and compassion to her these last two months. While the outcome was not what we all hoped, their support and skill gave us courage and hope for the future.
A memorial service will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 2 at McEwen Funeral Service, Mint Hill Chapel, 7428 Matthews-Mint Hill Road. The family will receive friends following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, 6000 Fairview Road, Suite 200, Charlotte, NC 28210.

Marge was a sweet, kind loving person that put everyone at ease. She loved children and helped to make a difference in their lives (including my grandkids) through the Terrific Kids program. I know it will be tough to go on without her but remember that she loved her family and grandchildren so very much. Let the beautiful memories of this lovely lady sustain you. God bless you all.

Although we’ve never met, I was saddened by the loss of your beloved family member. May “the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our tribulation” be with you.

You were such a wonderful and generous person, each and everything you did to me and my family was so thoughtful. You not only just changed my life but also three generations of my family's life.
. Without you my family will never reunion in such a beautiful free country USA, my son David will never have such a bright future; you are not just his dearest grandma, but also his best mentor in the world. We owed you too much; it's too hard to express our thanks and thoughts to you. Now you left us and went to God, I wonder how we will cope and live without you, except all the warmest memories with you will cheer us up to follow your sensational foot steps and good deeds, in our heart and mind, you are as great as Mother Teresa.
