Kathleen Edwards Allen, age 85, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2024, with family by her side. Born on September 6, 1939, in Malad, Idaho, Kathleen was the first-born daughter of Warren and Kate Edwards and touched countless lives with her warmth, resilience, and ever-present joy.

She married the love of her life, Gary Morgan Allen, on March 18, 1955, beginning a beautiful life together centered on family, faith, and laughter. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan Temple on July 20, 1965. Together, they raised four sons: Kim Allen, Kirk (Kari) Allen, Todd Allen, and Brooks (Tammy) Allen, whom she adored and cherished deeply.

Kathleen worked as a supervisor at LA-Z-Boy in Tremonton, Utah, dedicating over 20 years of her life to the role. She was known for her diligence, compassion, and leadership, and she forged lifelong friendships during her time there.

Her greatest joy was spending time at the family cabin with her loved ones. The laughter and love shared there remain treasured memories for her family. Kathleen’s laughter was infectious, her spirit uplifting, and she had an unfailing positivity that inspired everyone who knew her.

Kathleen is survived by her loving husband Gary, her three sons, 15 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and her siblings: Donna Gayle (Frank) Madsen, Carol (Terrel) Jones, and Dave Edwards. She was preceded in death by her parents, her son Kim, and her six brothers: Stan, Cleon, Darrell, Dan, Ren, and Kelly.

The family extends a deep debt of gratitude to the Franklin County Medical Center, Long Term Care. Their compassion and dedication went above and beyond in caring for Kathleen during her final days.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and joy. Kathleen will be dearly missed and
forever remembered.
