Katherine Louise Allen, known as Kathy, passed away peacefully from complications of Parkinson's on April 4, 2018 at the age of 60 years. Kathy is survived by her sisters, Linda Custer and Laura Allen; Laura's husband, Ken Lewis; her aunt, Carol Hoffman; and cousins, Anne and Carolyn. Kathy was predeceased by her parents, Sidney S. and Joan H. Allen.
Kathy graduated from Eastmoor High School after which she worked at several local restaurants. She participated in the many programs offered by On My Own, Goodwill Industries, and her beloved ARC East. Kathy will be remembered for her varied interests, including her love of cats, movies, and travel, particularly to Las Vegas and Pompano Beach, Florida with her family. She also loved Ohio State football - the Buckeyes have lost their #1 fan. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Natalie, Lorette, Dave, Lindsay, Laura, Michelle, Yvonne, Theresa, Gifty, Lisa and Kim at I Am Boundless, a residential community where Kathy had been living this last year. We also want to thank the selfless medical staff at St. Ann's Hospital for their attentive care on Kathy's behalf.
