Norma Allen
Formerly of Ephraim
Norma Nielson Allen, born on December 11, 1935, in Ephraim, Utah, to Ludeal and Sarah Nielson, passed away on May 2, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.
Norma spent her life in Utah, Texas, Washington and England. After graduating from Snow College, she married Franklin E. Allen in the Salt Lake City Temple. Norma was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Norma raised five children. Her young family were relocated by the US Air Force a dozen times in as many years. Norma and Frank later divorced. Norma’s career was as diverse as her life experience. She worked in the construction of mobile homes and travel trailers, in fabric stores sales, and in sales of high-end china, crystal, and silverware. The last 35 years of Norma's career were spent as a fixture at JR Mooney Gallery, where she retired when she was 80 years old.
Norma leaves behind her five children, 17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Norma is survived by her children: Cynthia Peterson (Eric), Franklin Allen (Deb), Chris Allen (Karyn), Charles Allen (Laura), and Jennifer Allen (Mike Hatcher); and her sister, Alice Wright.
