Obituary
Margaret Rose (Jett) Allen, 25, of
Delavan, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April
15, 2024.
Margaret was born on September 11, 1998, in Park
Ridge IL, the daughter of Douglas Jett and Sarah
(Mark) Flahaven. She married Theodore Allen in June
of 2022.
Anyone lucky enough to love and be
loved by Margaret knows the impact she had on every
life she touched. She had a magnetic passion for
music, gardening, baking, literature, and
animals–especially her two cats, Baby & Henry, and
dog, Diane; and she loved spending time with her
husband, Theo.
Margaret was named winner of the William Howard
Award for Excellence in Writing and the Sutter Award
for Historiography from Illinois State University.
Her work will be published in the Spring 2024
edition of Recounting the Past, a student journal at
ISU that represents the highest quality of research
in the History Department. |
Margaret’s life here and hereafter is
one to be celebrated, for we who remain grieve as
those who yet have hope. Her soul is with God, but
her spirit of joy, strength, and love will forever
abide in the hearts of those who choose to remember.
Margaret is survived by her husband, Theo; parents,
Douglas Jett and Sarah (Mark) Flahaven; siblings,
Violette, William, and Charlotte Flahaven; maternal
grandmother, Vickie Loranca; grandfather, Gary
Shuler; great-grandmother, Lois Schad; paternal
grandmother, Mary Foley; and great-grandparents,
Justine McKeon & William Stroud. She was preceded in
death by her great-grandfather, Bill Schad.
The Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 am on Friday,
April 26, 2024, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in
Bloomington, IL. Visitation will take place the
night prior on Thursday, April 25, 2024, from 5:00
pm - 8:00 pm at the Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral
Home in Lincoln.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made
in her name to the Margaret Rose Scholarship Fund
through Delavan Schools [or Paypal @MargaretRose24,
