On Sunday, July 25, 2021 Jesus reached down to take our beloved mother and friend Phyllis Jeanne Allen home. Phyllis was born August 30, 1935 to Hugh and Dorothy Brace in La Grand Oregon, and grew up in Redmond Oregon, graduating high school in 1953.

In addition to being a devoted wife and a mother she spent many years working outside the home as a bookkeeper and administrative assistant for various CPAs, the Bend Bulletin, and for several dental and medical offices. But, her favorite job by far started as a volunteer at Willamette Falls hospital gift shop.

There was a time when she loved to dance. She always loved to have fun. She had a very green thumb and loved gardening as evidenced by her beautiful backyard and home filled with flourishing plants. She had a mind of her own, and was rarely shy to share it. She was a follower of Jesus and an active member of Oregon City Christian Church.

She was preceded in death by husband, James Joseph Allen, and is survived by her brother, son, daughter (and spouses); Steven Brace (Karen), Thomas Gibbs (Linda), Debbie Stoker (Bruce); step children (and spouses) Kim Valdez (Steve), Jim Allen (Shelly), Arthur/Bill Allen (Michelle), Teri Taylor; 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at Oregon City Christian Church on Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 1 PM. In lieu of flowers she would love to know you donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
