Edna Dorean Allen, of Pittsburgh, died peacefully in her sleep Thursday, July 13, 2023. Edna was born July 11, 1925, in Pittsburgh. She graduated from Schenley High School, Pittsburgh, and then graduated from Bellevue School of Nursing in 1943 as a registered nurse. She worked at Montefiore Hospital, Columbia Hospital and the VA Hospital, Oakland, where she retired in 1978. Edna was married to Wendall Allen for 44 years. He died in 1992. Edna is survived by son, Wendall Allen, of Chicago, Ill., and Karen Allen, of Pittsburgh. Mom loved working in her garden, trips to flower shows, garden centers, farmers markets and Pirates baseball games with her children. She was a lifelong member of the Church of the Holy Cross, Homewood. Her favorite vacations were summers on Presque Isle, Erie, and numerous cruises to the Caribbean. Mom was my best friend. She was loving, kind, patient and always had a positive attitude; a devoted mother and wife. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness and generosity. We enjoyed so many great times trying out new restaurants and visiting so many wonderful places on our cruises and other vacations. She loved her two pups, Spanky and Bandit. They miss her so much. Heartfelt thanks to the staff at The Women’s Cancer Center at Magee Women’s Hospital and the staff on 7 West at Shadyside Hospital for their care and compassion for our mom. Final remembrance for Edna will be private. We kindly request that donations be made to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, 6926 Hamilton Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15208.
