I just located her obit. My prayers for the family. Dr. Allen was a gift from God. Our family doctor did the best thing for me when I was 11 he told my Mom I needed to find a new doctor and recommended Dr. Allen. She accepted me as an 11 year old patient and saw me through all the earth shattering teenage years into my early 20s. To this day I think of her and her words sometimes stern words and thank God for her. At peace with the angels. Thank you Dr Allen.

Anne, I didn't know of your mom's passing until reading the Pi Phi quarterly. She was an amazing woman, mom, doctor, and she was mine and my daughter's doctor when we were teenagers. I know she will be missed by so many.

Dr. Allen was my sisters and my physician as teenagers. She was a straight shooter. My mother and we girls loved her. May she Rest In Peace.

Dr. Allen had a tremendous impact on my life and heart. I'm so very grateful to have known her. She was also dear friends with my great-aunt, Jean Merriam Rembert. I just learned of her passing tonight or I would absolutely have been there today in pink to honor a Great Lady.
