Allison Marie Marcum, age 33, of Canal Winchester, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on October 18, 2025. Leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter and loyalty. Born and raised in Baltimore, Ohio, Allison was the daughter of Mike and Cheryl Marcum. She had a way of lighting up any room she walked into, and her laughter was contagious— pure, genuine, and full of life. She was confident, funny, and unafraid to be herself. She loved deeply and lived boldly. She was kind, loyal, and deeply devoted to her family. Always very close with her siblings Danielle, Bryan and Chris. Her fun-loving silly personality made her the perfect aunt to all her adored nephews. She was and will remain forever, a proud daddy’s girl and her mothers sweet “Ally”. Allison had a special gift for connecting with animals. That passion grew into her life’s purpose and career as the proud owner of Marcum K9 Obedience, where she built a reputation as an incredible dog trainer. Her own beloved dogs were her pride and joy. She always made sure they were part of everything she did. Allison’s light was one of a kind. And though her time here was far too short, her spirit will continue to guide and inspire all those she leaves behind.
