was a kind hearted lady who loved people and her job. She taught 2nd
grade Sunday school for 45 years at Parkside Baptist Church and was a
special education paraprofessional with the Denison School District for
35 years. She began her ministry to others and her professional career
as a deaf education interpreter, carrying that love for helping others
into the deaf ministry at her church, where she also interpreted. That
love for others and making the world a better place also showed in her
life as she attended many mission trips with the Parkside Builders
helping people locally as well as across the United States. Mrs. Allen
loved working with her hands
to cook for her family and to knit. In her spare time, she could often be seen with anywhere from 2 to 4 needles in her hand working on various projects. Sheryl Allen was a woman of great faith, and her legacy of love and service will live on in the many lives she touched. She will be greatly missed by a great number of people. She is survived by her husband Kenneth Allen of the home, sons Kenneth R. Allen of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, James A. Allen and wife Stormy of Southmaid, Texas, Robert E.
