Born in Byrdstown, TN, Allene lived her entire life in the community she loved. She dedicated over 40 years of her life to the Sutton Shirt Factory and later retired from Osh Kosh. Outside of work, she found great joy in her garden, tending her flowers, spending time with her family, and most of all, reading her Bible.

Allene is survived by daughter Judy O'Gorman, granddaughter Angela (John) Thompson, three great-grandchildren, Shelby (Michael), Wesley and Amanda, and one great-great-grandson, Rowan.
She is also survived by her sisters Lois Carlton of Lebanon, TN, and Rhonda Leak of Marrowbone, KY; brothers Ralph (Gladys) Storie of Spring City, TN, and Richard (Rita) Storie of Lebanon, TN; along with sister-in-law Que Storie and many much-loved nieces and nephews.
