| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 30, 2005, p. B7 Dorothy Allen, a 45-year resident of Wickenburg, passed away on March 18, lacking four weeks of becoming 102. Her last months were with her family in Vacaville, Calif. This ever-cheerful woman lived in the little stone house opposite the AmericInn. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, the AARP, the Rock Club, and the VFW. She enjoyed playing drums with the Wise Owl Band for many years. Dorothy was a very talented person. She painted, sang, wrote, made exquisite jewelry, gardened, and kept many beloved pets. Born in Alameda, Calif., she moved to Mill Valley, Calif., where she lived for 40 years. She married Joseph Allen, a San Francisco art dealer. They had two children, Hilary and Robert. Also surviving are seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. During World War II, a uranium-mining job brought the Allens to Arizona and eventual retirement to Wickenburg. Dorothy loved the desert and the many kind friends she had in Wickenburg over the years. |
