Great Aunt Gerry Allen

ALLEN, Geraldine Ann
''Gerry''
Aug 25, 1929-Apr 10, 2007
With her three children by her side, Gerry passed away peacefully after a long battle with Multiple Myeloma. She was 77 years old. She was a courageous fighter to the end; however, she was ready to be with God and those who had passed before her. Her positive attitude and friendly personality endeared her to the people she met. She was selfless to the end, donating her body to UCD Medical School. Left to cherish Gerry's memory are her children, Jim and Rick (Maggie) Allen, Jenny (Chuck) Bird; her grandchildren Jennifer, Katherine, Chris, Cody, Cecilia, Charley, and Kylie; her sisters Joyce Hamilton and Jean Osborne and their spouses, Jack and Jim, as well as many other family and friends. A celebration of Gerry's life will take place Tuesday, April 17 at 4:00 PM at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 5811 Walnut Avenue, Orangevale. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gerry's name to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 4604 Roseville Road, Suite 100, No. Highland, CA 95660
