Allen

Mae C. Allen, 95, of Middlesex Township, Valencia, passed into the hands of our Lord on Friday evening, Jan. 27, 2023, in the comfort of her home.

Born on May 6, 1927, she was the daughter of the late T. F. and Verna Cavanaugh. She was raised in the Rouseville/Oil City, Pa., area.

Her early years included working for a lumber company in Oil City and after marriage transitioning to a full-time mother and a volunteer at Passavant Hospital in the North Hills of Pittsburgh for years. In 1977 she began working at the Stop-N-Go in Middlesex Township, where she enjoyed this role for 10 years as it allowed her to work alongside good friends and be connected to the community on a daily basis. She then worked part-time for a local cleaning company until she retired to spend more time with her grandchildren.

She was devoted to her religion and to the Holy Sepulcher Catholic Parish, being a member of over 60 years.

Mae will be remembered as a quiet, kind, supportive and caring person throughout her lifetime. She was the last survivor of her six siblings in the Cavanaugh family. She will be missed by her immediate family and the many nieces and nephews and their children who are spread across the country.

Mae was married to Robert E. Allen of Oil City on Feb. 2, 1952, and he passed away on Nov. 26, 1976. She was the mother of R. Keith (Mary Kay) Allen of Valencia and the late T. Bruce Allen, who passed away in 1990; grandmother of Shelby C. Allen of Allison Park and the late Kelsey M. Allen, who passed away in 2013; and step-grandmother of Kelsey L. (Daniel) Berman of Annapolis, Md.
