Donald R. Allen of Palmetto passed away August 17, 2021, at the age of 84. He was born on November 19, 1936 in Sharon, Pennsylvania and was the son of Ted and Bertha Allen. Donald graduated from Vienna High School in 1954. Following high school he proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1954 to 1958 as a submarine sailor. He was a sailor and engineer at heart. His hobbies included sailing off to blue waters, working on boats and cars, building model replicas, gardening, reading, entertaining with friends, and some might say he was a scotch connoisseur.
Donald Allen is survived by sisters, Barbara and Nancy; his three children, Debra, Ted (Maureen), and Fred (Lynn); 4 grandchildren; as well as 4 great-grandchildren. In addition, Donald is survived by his life partner, Denise Wells and her 3 girls Krystal, Tammy, and Cindy, and her 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
Donald will be loved and missed by many.
