Velda Allen

Velda Allen January 18, 1937 - September 16, 2021 Velda lived most of her adult life in Wapato, WA, where she raised her 4 daughters. Her daughters were able to bless her as a G’ma to her 9 grandchildren. Being a G’ma came naturally to her and when she became a Great G’ma she was a professional. She was the best Great G’ma to her 9 Great Grandchildren. She made sure to have her own special relationships with each and everyone of us. She worked for the Yakima Health Department for over 20 years. Where She retired from there in 2004. She attended Wapato Nazareth Church in Wapato, WA. Where she made sure to pick up all her grandkids for Sunday school every week. She was a woman of God and instilled that into her family. She loved seeing her grandkids off to bible camps, swim lessons, summer church camp. She went to go join her husband Mack Allen and her 3 daughters in heaven Roberta Lee Allen, Kathy Jo Allen and Pearlanna Robinson on September 16, 2021. She left behind her daughter Myrtle May Allen and brother Terrell Samuels (Ruth). Her Grandchildren and Great Children, Thomas Allen, Skye Negrete (DJ Negrete), Joni Parker, Amanda M Lopez (Julianna Lopez), Alexandria K Allen (Luna Castilleja), James E. Lopez (Kyrie James Lopez), Ariana Francis ( Rodney Francis, Ariel JoLee Francis, Rodney Williams Francis III), Tyler Allen and Shannon Hutchko. She also had 2 bonus daughters that we can’t forget about, Son Tellas and Connie Gallegos. Her best friend, Lavina McDaniel and her 3 beautiful boys. We promised to remind the little ones of you. Tell them their Great Grandma used words like, “I guess” or “I suppose”, “Oh for heaven’s sake” and when they get older and stubborn, we will tell them they get it from her! Your memory will live on within each of us and you will never be forgotten. I hope you’re in heaven, holding Grandpa’s hand in love and smiling down on us. Services will be held at Valley Hills Funeral Home in Wapato, WA on Sept. 23 starting at 9am with burial to follow at Reservation Community Memorial Park.
