Joan E. Allen, 88, of South Fayette, passed away Sunday, October 7, 2018, in Jefferson Hospital.

Mrs. Allen’s abiding faith and church family at Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church were of great comfort to her.

She was born March 25, 1930, in Canonsburg, a daughter of the late Leo Z. and Anne A. McNary Rubenstein.

She was employed as an administrative assistant by Flowserve Corp. in South Fayette, until her retirement in 2014.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Allen.

Surviving are her cousins, Mr. & Mrs. William H. McNary (Jere) of Jackson, Miss., Mr. & Mrs. John C. McNary (Rebecca) of Canada, Mr. & Mrs. Jon Crane (Georgia Gail McNary) of Hill City, S.D., and Mr. & Mrs. Richard L. Nevin (Janet C. Stamm) of Washington; many close friends; and her church family.

She also leaves behind her beloved cats.

At Joan’s request, there will be no public visitation. All are invited to attend a service at 2 p.m. Saturday, October 20, in Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church, 112 West Pike Street, Canonsburg, with Pastor Don Coleman officiating. Private interment will be held at a later date in Oak Spring Cemetery, Chartiers Township.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to Pet Search, Washington.

Arrangements are in the care of Mario L. DeAngelo Funeral Home, Canonsburg.
