Blanche Irene Allen
(February 13, 1920 - December 11, 2012)
Silverton – Blanche Irene Allen, 92, formerly of Coquille, passed away peacefully December 11, 2012.
Blanche was born in Winslow, Arkansas, on Friday, February 13, 1920, at home to Daniel and Mary (Reed) Parrish, 1 of 8 children. She along with her other siblings learned all about hard work by helping on the farm, whether it was working in the fields, milking cows, or helping in the house, their parents had plenty of help.
Blanche met Hoit Allen through her sister, Ilora, while visiting. They married January 11, 1942 and moved to Heber Springs, Arkansas, where they had their first child Joyce, on June 11, 1944. Hoit, having only one hand, had difficulties finding work, and soon Blanche and he learned of work available in Oregon and moved to Riverton, near Coquille in 1951. With the move also came his brother Ovel, and wife Ilora, Blanche's sister, and their 2 children.
Blanche loved gardening and canning, and canning or freezing, as well as quilting. She also loved camping, when you could get her there. Sometimes she would drag her feet, but after she got there she loved it. When they had their R. V. she wanted to stay inside and play Rummy or scrabble, in which Blanche was known for her 3 letter words. Blanche was a woman of family and was very loyal to her church, reading her bible daily. She could nearly quote you a verse and tell you where it was, and remained a member of Coquille Church of Christ since 1951. She had a long life, and left this world to go home to God, Hoit; infant sons; grandson, Matthew Gubbels; sisters, Annie Henson, Ilora Allen; brothers, George, Clyde, Perry, and Phillip; and her parents.
Blanche is survived by, her daughter, Joyce (Frank) Gubbels, Silverton; grandchildren: Dennis (Melissa) Gubbels, Silverton, Sherri (Ryan) Hansen, Oregon City, Anthony (Shannon) Gubbels, Silverton; great-grandchildren, Cody, Dustin, Nate and Jenna Gubbels, Wyatt and Abby Hansen, Ethan, Zach and Ashlynn Gubbels; and brother, Oran Parrish, Fayetteville, AK.
Graveside services will take place at 1:00 p.m., Friday, 12/14, at Myrtle Grove Memorial Gardens in Coquille. Arrangements by Unger Funeral Chapel.
