Ken was born to Genevieve and Julian Allwine. He was the older of two siblings.
After graduating from Omaha's Central High School, Ken joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1943. In 1945, during one of his shore stops in Seattle, he attended a dance at the University of Washington where he met his wife of 58 years, Betty Mae Alvord, and within a few short weeks they were married. Ken started his career in criminal justice as a deputy sheriff for the Lewis County, Wash., sheriff's office. He then went on to serve as a probation officer for the Lewis County juvenile and district court probation offices, and as director of Lewis County Emergency Services.
He received his bachelor of arts in criminal justice from Central Washington University in 1976 and decided to pursue his passion for teaching and received his master of arts in criminal justice from Washington State University in 1978. Ken spent the next 14 years as an associate professor in criminal justice at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, and was voted by the student body as "Outstanding Instructor of the Year."
Ken and Betty Mae were dedicated to raising their nine children, four girls and five boys. The first seven were raised in Centralia, Wash., and the last two were raised primarily in Pullman and Clarkston. Ken was very active in supporting the sporting activities of his youngest two children. He also served for several years as an umpire in slow-pitch leagues in the Clarkston-Lewiston area. After retirement, Ken and Betty Mae trekked in their motor home, "Mo-Home," visiting kids and grandkids. They were always willing to help at their various stops with family projects.
Ken was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Mae Allwine; daughters Suzanne Turner and Joanne Baker; and parents Genevieve and Julian Allwine.
