Patricia Ann Allen
Patricia Ann Allen, 81, of Richland, WA passed away peacefully at her home on December 22, 2007.
She was born in Green Bay, WI on October 4, 1926 to Harold and Mabel Quigley.
Patricia married John E. Allen on August 23, 1947. They lived for a year in Williams Bay, WI then moved to Washtucna, WA. As the wife of a high school coach she often served as team mom, washing jerseys and preparing pre-game meals. After three years they moved to Colville, WA then to Richland in 1954 where she worked for a while as a dental assistant and later a lab technician for U.S. Testing,
She loved to sew and attended many classes offered at Columbia Basin College in Richland. Patricia took great pride in making garments and blankets for her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed tending to her small garden which produced superb tomatoes and beautiful roses.
Pat’s foremost priority was the welfare of her family. Her unconditioned love remains a cherished legacy to family and friends.
She is survived by her sons, Stephen Charles Allen and wife Loretta, David Paul Allen and wife Erin, and Timothy John Allen and wife Bridget; grandchildren Christopher, Paul, Meghan, Michael, Rebecca and Daniel; great-grandchild Emily; brother Jerome Quigley and wife Lorraine of Scottsdale, AZ; brother David Quigley and wife Rose of Sarasota, FL and sister Nancy VandenBusch of Green Bay, WI.
Patricia is preceded in death by her husband John Allen and her brother Philip Quigley.
The family wishes to thank the Tri-Cities Hospice staff for their outstanding care and support given to Pat.
At Pat’s request there will not be a public funeral service. In lieu of flowers a memorial contribution may be sent to the Tri-Cities Chaplaincy, 2108 W. Entiat Ave., Kennewick, WA 99336.
Pat and John were our neighbors for over 30 years.
I have fond memories of playing baseball in the Allen’s front yard with their three boys. It took me years to figure-out John’s slight-of-hand, underhand pitching.
Pat opened her home to my brother, Jack, and me while we helped our mother, Ruby, move to a rest home and later during my mother’s last illness.
My condolences to Steve, David, and Tim. I earned my first pay while babysitting these fine young boys.
