She is one of 12 children, the daughter of Edson Allen and ClaraBelle (Pobgee) Allen. She lived with her daughter, Lisa Hamilton and her family for 14 years in the San Francisco Bay Area where she helped raise her grandchildren and served the Lord with the gift of writing and encouragement.

Mom enjoyed spending time with her family, gardening, writing short stories, poems and writing countless letters of love, encouragement and shared her favorite jokes with family and friends. She loves her family very much and it was her prayer that we remain close, walk in forgiveness and follow Christ so that we can be reunited again one day in heaven. Surviving are her daughter, Lisa Hamilton, son in law, Christopher Hamilton, grandchildren Alexander, Brian, Michelle, Michael and Holly Hamilton. She is also survived by her brothers Edwin Allen and wife Edna Allen, Clair Allen, her sisters Velma Graham and husband Paul Graham and Audrey Turner and her husband Paul Turner and many extended family and friends.
