Cherrill Allen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by St. Mary-Murphy-Wilcox Funeral Home on Dec. 23, 2025.
Cherrill R. Allen, 66, of Malone died Monday, December 22, 2025, at Meadowbrook Healthcare, Plattsburgh.

Born on November 14, 1959, in Malone, NY, she was the daughter of Peter and Rose (Gadoua) Allen. They predeceased her.

Cherrill attended Salmon River Central School, graduating in 1976. She then graduated from Central City Business Institute in Syracuse, graduating in 1982. She was employed by the Franklin County Department of Social Services from 1995 to 2011, retiring early due to health issues. She enjoyed her many animals and loved them dearly. She enjoyed studying the bible and her greatest desire was to spread the word of Jesus. Her final wish was to be home for Christmas, and she is home with Jesus.

She is survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Peter and Marta Allen of Ocala, FL; a sister, JoAnn Allen of Westville; three nephews, two great-nieces and three great-nephews.

Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
