Lucille Ann AllenBeaver Dams, NY

Lucille Ann Allen, 75, of Beaver Dams, passed away unexpectedly on February 14, 2026.

Born October 3, 1950, in Corning, she was the cherished daughter of the late William and Margaret Bryington.

Lucy, lovingly known as “Mema,” was the heart and soul of her family. For 53 beautiful years, she was the devoted wife of Milton Allen Sr., standing faithfully by his side through every chapter of life. Together they built a home filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support. She also dedicated 17 years working as a housekeeper at the Radisson Hotel Corning.

She was a loving mother to her sons, Milton Allen Jr. (Dawn Smith) and Luke Allen (Suannah), and her daughter, April Morseman (Marshall). Her family was her greatest pride and joy.

Mema adored her grandchildren: Zack Allen (Kaylyn Jimmerson), Addy Allen, Dana Allen (Larry Adams), Jocelyn Sawyer (Dominic Woodward), Breanna Sawyer (Stuart Perry), Kendra Bartholomay, Kelsey Morseman, Madisyn Morseman and Dalton Plumley. She was also blessed with great-grandchildren Ariella, Desirae, Brycen, Ryver and Brelyn, who brought endless light into her life.

She is also survived by her brother, Kenny Bryington; her sister, Sheila Bartholomay; her brothers-in-law, Albert Allen (Audrey), Tom Allen and Keith Allen (Maxine); along with many extended family members and dear friends.

Lucy was predeceased by her siblings William, Clyde, Dorothy and Nancy; her beloved grandson Dustin; her brothers-in-law John, Rick and Tim; and her sisters-in-law Sharon and Robin.

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures — puzzles, reading, watching Hallmark movies and game shows, cooking and baking, and most of all, playing games and spending time with her family and friends. Her home was a place of comfort, warmth and unconditional love. She had a gentle spirit, a generous heart and a way of making everyone feel welcome and cared for.

Lucy’s legacy is one of selfless love, strength and devotion to family. She helped raise not only her children but also her grandchildren alongside her beloved husband, shaping their lives with kindness and guidance. Her love will continue to live on in every story shared, every recipe passed down and every family gathering filled with laughter.

A service will be held at noon on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the Beaver Dams Fire Department, 1165 County Road 19, Beaver Dams, followed by a celebration of life at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Beaver Dams Fire Department or the American Heart Association in her memory.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
