Obituary of Evelyn P. Allison

Evelyn P. Allison, 90, of Tampa, FL., formerly of Vernon CT., the wife of Robert J. Allison, died at home Friday April 3, 2020. Born in Lowell, MA., Evelyn was the child of the late Albert and Alvina (Kazalski) Poudrier. She had lived many years in Manchester and Vernon prior to relocating to Florida.

Having met at a ballroom dance following WWII, it can be said that Bob and Evelyn have been dancing throughout their 71 years of marriage. Thoughtful, caring and always supportive of her children, grandchildren and then great grandchildren, her love has always shone through.

Evelyn enjoyed travel, music, reading and most of all dancing with Bob. She was a long time hospice volunteer and always provided support and assistance to her community. Her love for her family and their love of her will forever be a fact of life.

In addition to her husband Bob, she is survived by her children, Robert J. Allison Jr. and his wife Elizabeth, Layne Allison and her partner Fred Parker, Karen Macomber and her husband Steven and Kevin Allison and his wife Lori.  She also leaves her grandchildren, Dawn, Benjamin, James, John, Sara, Joseph, Francis, Kristina, Daniel, Thomas and Alyssa.
