It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved Mother, Great Grandmother, and Sister, Lora Charlene Allen. She left us unexpectedly due to lung cancer. She fought a long, courageous battle with cancer. Along the way, she also endured several strokes and the flu. Our family is now facing the emotional and financial burden of planning her funeral and saying our final goodbyes. Charlene was the heart of our family: kind, strong, and deeply loving. Her warmth, wisdom, and sense of humor touched everyone that knew her.

We are reaching out in this time of grief to ask for help in covering the funeral and burial costs. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to assist with the funeral service, casket, burial, and associated expenses.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference and help us give Charlene the farewell she deserves. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing the fundraiser with others who knew her or who might want to help a family in need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
