She was preceded in death by seven sisters and three brothers. Mary Faye Maroon, Ruby Inez Chapman, Alice Ruth Marlar, Della Jo Cowart, Minnie Jean Marlar, Billie Sue Gleason, Kelley Thell Overstreet, Luther Lile Marlar, Glenn Reed Marlar and Steven Ray Marlar.

Left to cherish memories of Allie are her nieces and nephews. They would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff, affiliated with Heather Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, for the gentle and loving care that they provided for our Aunt Allie for the past few years. They would also like to thank Dennis Ramsey for all that he has done for Allie and Steve. He was there for them when the family couldn’t be. For that, we are eternally grateful.
