Her humor and laughter was contagious. Wasn’t privileged to be around Margy (grandma) a lot. One thing that was always obvious was the joy she reflected toward everyone. For all her family to always remember is memories live on!! Gone but never forgotten!

My condolences to the Allen family. As a teen I spent a lot of time at Margy’s house with my best friend, Mike. Margy was always energetic and positive. With a big family there was always a lot of activity at their home. You would always find Margy with a smile on her face. I know she will be missed. God bless the family as they morn her passing.
