EARLENE JORGENSEN ALLEN

October 9, 1932-November 27, 2017

Dad was late again but it was a joyous reunion.  Our fearless leader, stalwart supporter and cornerstone of our family, Earlene Jorgensen Allen, left our presence on November 27, 2017.

She is finally able to be raising a ruckus with Arlee and elbowing Paul in the ribs.

Our mother was a caretaker.  We always felt loved and knew she was there for us.  She taught us it was o.k. to be different; if you wanted to dip your tuna fish sandwich in grape juice do so!  We will miss her sense of humor and her listening ear.  Her love for her grandchildren was immeasurable.

She is survived by her children, Greg (Lisa), Judy (Jodi), Daren (Donna),Teresa (Kelly) Peterson; her grandchildren, Amanda (Tyler), Tara, Jessica, Alli and Jacob;  six great-grandchildren; siblings, Gloy Jorgensen, Verlynn Vandeberg, Sandford Jorgensen.  She is preceded in death by her spouse, Paul Ray, a brother, Theron and grandson, Levi.

Friends and family may gather to visit from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday, December 4,  2017 at Lindquist’s Bountiful Mortuary, 727 N. 400 E. Bountiful, UT.  Following the visitation, graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. at Bountiful City Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Moran Eye Center at www.moraneyecenter.org .
