Alvina Guerra Allen Passed away in Palo Alto on April 13, 2008 at age 79 surrounded by her family. Alvina was the dearly beloved wife of the late Frank J. Allen, Jr., (retired Battalion Chief, SFFD), dear mother of Michael and Peter Allen, cherished mother-in-law of Rita Hirsh Allen and Sylvia Valdez, and loving "nonni" of Madeline and Elizabeth Allen. She leaves behind her sister Rosemarie Giannecchini, nieces and great nieces and nephews. Alvina was born in Jackson California, grew up in Stockton, and raised her sons in San Francisco. Alvina made her home in San Francisco from 1948 when she came to study dental nursing, and she worked at Letterman Hospital until she married in 1956. She was active in the Italian-American Federation, and an active member in St. Thomas the Apostle parish. She loved musical theatre and enjoyed attending Sunday matinees with her friends. Since 2000, she has lived in Los Altos. Alvina's friends are invited to a mass of Christian Burial at 11AM Saturday April 19 at St. Nicholas Church in Los Altos, followed by internment at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. In lieu of flowers, our family suggests a donation to the Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, 1055 Ellis Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 (415-775-6626 ext. 681).
