Billie Allen

Antimony, Utah

Billie Lorraine Gleave Allen, 86, Antimony, passed away peacefully January 24, 2018 in Orem. She was born, the youngest of seven children, March 8, 1931 in Richfield to Herbert Samuel and Lora Vilate Stewart Gleave. She lived her entire life in Antimony and had a happy childhood. She had wonderful memories of her friends and growing up on her father’s ranch. She graduated from Piute High School in 1948.

Billie married her sweetheart, Phil Allen, June 1, 1948 in Salt Lake City. The marriage was solemnized December 16, 1948 in the Manti Temple. The newlywed couple began their married life in Antimony where they raised their four children. In the beginning, the Allen’s bought a general store where they sold everything from tires and saddles to clothing and food. They, then, bought a ranch and started raising purebred Polled Herefords, which became their life and passion. Billie supported Phil in everything he did with the ranch, driving truck to feed cattle and haul hay and having food on the table when the day was done.

Billie was a wonderful homemaker and cook. She sewed clothes, made quilts, and raised an enormous vegetable garden and took great pride in her beautiful flowers. She was famous for her spudnuts, sour cream sweet rolls, pecan rolls, English toffee, and other Christmas candy. She loved being a homemaker and caring for her family. Her family was the most important thing in her life.

A member of the LDS Church, Billie spent her whole life serving and fulfilling callings such as stake Young Women presidency, stake Relief Society board, ward Relief Society presidency, but her favorite calling was teaching Primary. She was always an excellent visiting teacher right to the end when she would faithfully call her sisters each month. She had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, loved the Lord and the scriptures. Her children were raised in a home where the gospel was taught and lived. Even when her health prevented her from attending church, she and Phil read their scriptures and studied the lessons together.

She is survived by her husband, Phil; children: JoAnn (Steve) Peters, Nibley; Bradley (Bobbe) Allen, Salina; Shannon (Julie) Allen, Antimony; and Tracie (Scott) Peterson, Orem; 15 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, with 2 on the way.

She is preceded in death by her parents; siblings: Ione Smoot, Reine Anderson, Adrene Dean, June Neath, Dahl Gleave, Coy Burr.

The family would like to thank Valeene Roberts for the friendship and love she has shown Mom over the past few years.
