Genevieve Allen

Born September 26, 1916 in Kingston, New York and passed away on October 3, 2011. Mrs. Allen was preceded in death by her brothers James Leahy, Joseph Leahy, Bernard Leahy and Thomas Leahy. She is survived by her beloved husband Clinton, of Allen Park, Michigan with whom she would have celebrated their sixty-fourth wedding anniversary on October, 26, 2011. Mrs. Allen leaves behind her three beloved sons James Allen (Geri) of Rochester, MI; John Allen of San Diego, CA; Mark Allen (Peggy) of Lansing, MI and beloved grandchildren Madeline and David Allen of Lansing, MI. Mrs. Allen was also loved by nieces Judy and Anne Leahy, Elizabeth Patrick, and nephews James Leahy of Mountain View, CA, Thomas Leahy of Kingston, New York as well as Richard Leahy of Colorado Springs, CO. Finally, Mrs. Allen was loved by special friends and neighbors Kim and Jim Murphy whose care and friendship over the years cannot be measured.
Mrs. Allen was passionate with regard to her Catholic faith, but most of all will be remembered for the boundless love she gave every day to her husband, children and grandchildren. Mrs. Allen’s life was nothing less than a shining example of the kind of unconditional love that all children need, but too few receive. Loving and caring for her husband, children, and grandchildren was Mrs. Allen’s life’s work; a work that she gave herself to totally, completely and unconditionally. Mrs. Allen was loved by all whose lives she touched.
