Kathryn Allen Obituary
Kathryn is survived by her two sisters Sharon Henrichon (Gerard), Lisa Class (Steve), and brother Christopher Allen (Regina). Kathyn also had four step sisters, Barbara Allen, Diane Rojas (David), Judy Bass (John), and the late Susie Caldwell (Don). She is also survived by her wonderful stepmother, Elizabeth "Betty" Allen of Richardson, TX. She was the loving aunt of Elissa Chambers (Jon), Cait Scanlan (Dan), Jeremy Henrichon, Melissa Fellows (Pete), and Michael Allen; and the great Aunt to her three great nephews who she absolutely adored, Jackson, Parker, and Mason.
Kathryn brought joy to everyone she interacted with and had a wit about her like no other. She had a deep love for her family and friends. One of her greatest joys in life, besides time with her family and friends, was gardening. Kathryn had quite the green thumb. She could often be found outside planting flowers and taking care of her garden which everyone in her apartment complex loved. She was an extremely hard worker who enjoyed working in retail, especially the past six years with her HomeGoods family. Kathryn also loved the beach, the Beatles, and reading. Oftentimes, Kathryn could be found cruising around and smiling in her yellow Volkswagen Beetle, "The Peep".
Kathryn will be deeply missed and will forever be in our hearts. A memorial mass will be held in her honor at 10:30 AM on Friday, March 22, 2024, at Immaculate Conception BVM, located at 604 West Avenue, Jenkintown, PA 19046.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Kathryn's honor to Redeemer Valley Farm or the American Red Cross Blood Services.

It was a pleasure spending Thanksgiving with you this year ! It was one of the best thanksgivings we´ve had in a long time. It won´t be the same this year.

I have always looked up to my big sister. As a child, I remember your room as a teen, so cool, packed full of magazines and hundreds of clippings of Beatles pictures. You knew every detail, every word to every song. I have never been cool. Just ask my kids.
Kath, I will miss our regular conversations, often lengthy, sharing our days, then often digressing to some childhood memory, ending in laughter, to the point of snorting. Yes, both of us. This is what I will miss the most.
But you are here with me, my sister, here in my head and in my heart.
I see you. Right now you are on the beach in front of your ocean cottage, toes in the sand, hot sun baking your bones and glowing your skin, smile on your face, breeze in your hair, cool drink in your hand, small pile of seashells you collected on your walk by your side. Serene.
Laugh everyone. Laugh more. And if a tear or a snort happens to escape, all the better. Kathryn would LOVE that.
I love you, my sister.
Forever,
Your sister, Sharon

I mainly knew Kathryn through her brother but she was always sweet and kind. I'll miss her comments on my Facebook posts.
