She will be remembered as a wonderful, loving Mother and Grandmother, who had a great sense of humor.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 68 years, Edward "Glenn" Allen and a brother Don Dugger.

She is survived by daughters, Sherri (husband, Patrick) McMonigle of Indianapolis and Laura (husband, Roger) Harris of Crestview, Florida; grandchildren, Ryan (wife, Jessica), Maggie, and Taylor; and great granddaughter, Mckenzie.
