She enjoyed riding her bike, traveling and watching her son play football. She was fond of the ocean and always made sure that if she was traveling nearby that she would stop and walk the beach, eat at an oceanside restaurant and stay at an oceanfront hotel. "She loved her family and always encouraged others to love theirs. Allison had a terrific smile; she never stopped smiling, even on her worst days. She was a loving mother and wife who will be missed by so many". She is survived by her husband of nine years, Gerrett Stier; 12 year old son, Carson Norris, who left this message "RIP to the best mom in the whole wide world. She fought so hard but now she's in a better place"; parents, James and Marsha Pepple; brother, Ben (Abbie) Pepple; niece, Kaia Pepple; nephew, Chase Pepple; and mother and father-in-law, Stuart and Tamra Stier.
