Sallie was born January 19, 1929 in Richmond, Missouri to Rolley Beecher Conner and Vallie Parks (McGinnis) Conner, the second youngest of seven children. She graduated from Richmond High School in 1947. She married Eugene "Gene" J. Allen on October 4, 1948 in Richmond, Missouri. Four children were born of this union, Denise, Kathleen, Neal and Barbara.
They resided in Richmond until 1967 when they moved four times and ended up in Hollister, Missouri where they made craft items for Mutton Hollow in Branson, MO. Sallie loved to read and watch sports especially the Royals and Chiefs. Most of all she loved her grandchildren. After her husband's passing Sallie moved to Excelsior Springs and spent many hours socializing with friends, putting puzzles together and playing games. She joined the North New Garden Primitive Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gene; and son, Neal; her brothers, Donald, Rolley "R.J.", Robert "Bobby", and Luther Thomas "Tom"; her sisters, Vallie Stevinson and Frieda Ann Butler; and brother-in-law, Bari Allen.
She is survived by three daughters, and sister-in-law, eight grandchildren, two step-grandsons, and granddaughter of the heart, 24 great grandchildren and seven great-great grandchildren; plus numerous nieces and nephews.
