Pamela Ada Grant Allen, 75, Fort Wayne

Pamela Ada Grant Allen, who was born on March 26, 1951, in Hartford, Connecticut; lived in Dubois County from 1977 to 2010; spent winters in The Villages, Florida, from 2014 to 2026; and passed away on October 20, 2026, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at 75 years young.

She is survived by her sister, Cheryl Grant Avery; her husband, Stephen G. Allen, with whom she raised her two children in Huntingburg, Jennifer Allen Pacheco (husband, Cesar) of Chicago, Illinois, and Paul L. Allen (wife Elizabeth (nee Waters)) of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and three grandsons.

Pam excelled in multiple roles, including serving on the council of Girl Scouts of Indiana, as a purchasing agent at Stens Corporation in Jasper, Indiana and as church secretary at Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Saint Anthony, Indiana. Her strong faith in God led her to start a nursery at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Huntingburg, Indiana; where she served as a lector and a Eucharistic minister; to attend interfaith Bible studies including at Saint Celestine Catholic Church in Celestine, Indiana; to serve as a Eucharistic adorer at Sacred Heart Church in Schnellville, Indiana; and to make (and teach others to make) and distribute rosaries.

Even after retiring to Fort Wayne, Indiana and spending winters in Summerhill in The Villages, Florida, she continued to be a prayer warrior and prepare food for friends and neighbors.
