Karen Denise Allen

Denise was a fighter until the end. She will be missed dearly and we will never forget her contributions to UCI. Proud to have worked along side her and have her show me the ropes when I first started. Condolences to the family.

So many memories from so very long ago when we were so very young! We were rockin Van Halen, screaming down I85, heading to Atlanta! Then, rockin with the guys we were dating from the cover band at the grimmy little hole in the wall bar! We were roommates in Charlotte with our first jobs; you, just fresh out of college! Oh my! The times we had! We were at Myrtle Beach with Todd and Steve and so sure that those first real loves would last forever! Thank you my lovely Denise for the good times! Thank you for being a big part of a wonderful time long, long ago! You made a difference!
Friends Forever, Sharon

Sandra,
It took my breath away to see this. Thinking about you and your family. The heartbreak. Denise´s loss is immeasurable. So many people are grieving with and for you. A testament to how Denise lived her life. She loved and lived unapologetically with incredible kindness. You raised a beautiful soul. Her light always shined so brightly. Sending love your way. Jill

K. Denise Allen is how I knew her. We worked together for a number of years at University of California, Irvine. She was a sweet person and she made my work simpler and easier. May she rest in peace.
