Mary Louise Carman Allison, our beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great- grandmother, great-great grandmother & aunt returned home to her Father in Heaven on September 30, 2017 at her home in St. George, Utah.
Mary was born on July 14, 1930 in Coalville, Utah to Lois Rees Carman and John Benton Carman. She was the second of four children. She graduated from North Summit High School in 1948. She married Vincent Hulme and was later divorced. On November 27, 1993, she married the love of her life, Kenneth Allison. They enjoyed 23 years of marriage and were always together working on their farm and many other projects.
Mary was always industrious and ambitious from the time she was young, delivering milk, selling Christmas cards or the Veterans' poppies. As a grownup, she leased a restaurant in Wyoming, owned a gas station/store in Echo, Utah, worked at a glass plant in California, worked for Garment Lettering as a chain-stitch operator, and later became a supervisor at GTE Electronics working with fiber optics where she invented a new patent. She loved learning new things. Mary loved playing the piano, bassoon, accordion, guitar and singing. She also loved sewing, doing alterations for people, crocheting, embroidering, knitting, and doing upholstery work. Mary's family was very important to her and she always enjoyed playing with the young children in the family.
