Lila M. Allison, age 95, of Point Pleasant, took her heavenly flight February 23, 2009, at her residence. She was born December 28, 1913 in Morgan County, Ohio, a daughter of the late Mahlon and Forest (Glass) Parsons.
She graduated from Ringgold High School, Ringgold, Ohio, in 1931 and was valedictorian. She was a member and faithfully attended the Wesleyan Holiness Church, in Point Pleasant. Mrs. Allison gave her heart and life to Christ in the early summer of 1931 in a tent meeting service conducted by a well known Wesleyan Methodist evangelist. As a result, in 1933 she felt the leading of the Lord to enroll in the Bible School at Point Pleasant. Following her marriage to Marshall Allison in 1937, they worked in the Christian School & Orphanage in Beulah Heights, KY, until September, 1940. They returned to Point Pleasant to labor in the Bible School and College in 1941. Through the years, Mrs. Allison felt it was her privilege to cook, can, wash, sew, clean, run errands, assist in the office or do whatever her hands found to do. She would say, "My lot has been to stay by the stuff, while others were labouring for God elsewhere." She would also say, "The lines are fallen unto me in the pleasant places; yea I have a goodly heritage."
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Marshall Allison and an infant daughter, Ruth; two infant siblings, Mae Laverne and James Parsons; two brothers, Leonard and Malcolm Parsons
