| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, November 22, 2005 Allie Louise Sizemore Louise was born in Faulker, Ark., and was raised in Ponca City, Okla. She has lived in Arizona since 1949, and lived most of that time in Chino Valley. She and her first husband, Kenneth Rollins, started a nursery and building supply business. She ran the nursery and loved watching plants grow and develop. She was also a wonderful cook and enjoyed coming up with new dishes and loved to see people enjoy her cooking. In the last few years, she became actively involved in the environmental illness movement, and studied all of the ingredients and preservatives being put into food. It was very important to her that the foods she prepared and served to others had the best nutritional value. She was musically inclined and enjoyed playing several instruments, including the piano, violin and mandolin. She also loved playing hymns on the organ. Although not affiliated with a particular religious denomination, Louise was very spiritually minded and lived a wonderful Christian life. When she was very young, she was told that she had Cherokee Indian blood in her and she was always very proud of that fact. Louise passed away on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2005, at the age of 87, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Velda and Bill Rogers in Taylor, Ariz., where she had lived for the past three years. After cremation her urn will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery next to her last husband, Carl T. Sizemore. Louise is survived by two sons, Kenneth A. "Neil" Rollins of Appaloosa, La., and Ernest L. Rollins of Cottonwood; one daughter, Velda (Bill) Rogers of Taylor, Ariz.; 22 grandchildren and many great- and great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by three husbands, Kenneth Rollins, Cliff Lockman and Carl T. Sizemore, a son, Dee W. Rollins, a daughter, Lillie Louise Rollins, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Private family services have been held. Owens Mortuary of Show Low handled the arrangements.
