She is now feeling no more pain and in the arms of her one true love, Don and with the Lord. They met at a football game at the age of 15 and remained together until his passing January 20, 2009. They were inseparable. They had 3 daughters that were their world.

Grandchildren, Roselyn, Don Allen, Robert, and Amanda, Debra & Hollie, Kristi, Brittani and Taran. She also had several great grandchildren. She was an Eastern Star at the Britton Lodge #434. She worked for Skaggs Albertsons in the Bakery for over 10 years but after her & Dad bought their station, Britton Phillips 66, in 1983, she did the books for Dad.
