Mary Lucile Allen

Mary was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. She grew up on the Western Slope in Eagle, Rifle and Meeker, CO. When Mary was 8 years old her father passed away, so her maternal grandparents helped raise her and her sister. She moved to Broomfield and then Denver when she was a teenager. Mary married Bill Allen in 1948, and they lived most of their married life in Brighton, CO, where they raised their daughters.

Mary worked as a speech aide for Brighton schools and then spent 15 years working for Valley Bank and Trust. After retiring Mary filled her time as a volunteer with Meals on Wheels, United Methodist Women, Cottonwood Homeowners Association, The Arthritis Foundation, and as a “Friend of the Library” for Anythink Brighton.

Mary also loved to spend as much time as she could with family and friends at their travel trailer in Estes Park or roaming most of the United States with Bill hauling the trailer behind his pick-up. They also traveled to Europe several times.

Mary is survived by her daughters, Debra Wittke and Patricia Aguirre, and her grandsons, David Wittke and Alex Aguirre. She is preceded in death by both of her parents, Lemuel Miller and Lucile (Miller) Robertson, her husband William (Bill) Allen, and her sister, Juanita (Dowd) Walling.
