- Elaine L. Allen passed away December 3, 2011.
Honoring Elaine's request, a private family memorial will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Cremation Society of Idaho.
Elaine was born August 27, 1919 in Weiser, Idaho, the daughter of Ruby and Walter Talboy.
She is survived by her sons, Albert D. Allen (Janet), Phil Allen (Laurie); daughter, Janette Allen; five grandchildren, Kip, Joe, Shelle, JB and Annell; four great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and our special Aunt Louise Talboy, from California. Also, she was close to all her nieces and nephews.
Elaine grew up on a farm in Weiser with her twin sister, Eileen Schrier; sister, Marjorie Koch; and brothers, Dean and Glen (Ervin) Talboy, who have preceded her in death. Our father, Albert L. Allen, passed away at a young age in 1949.
In 1953, Elaine married Frosty Alzola. She and her family spent the summers on the Alzola Bro's cattle ranch cooking and helping with ranch duties. During the school months, the family returned to Boise and lived with the Schrier family. She and Frosty were divorced in 1963, but remained close friends until his passing in 2006.
Elaine loved the outdoors and animals, and had many dogs through the years that she cherished. Our mother worked very hard throughout her life. She loved to cook for everyone and always made sure everyone had enough to eat. From 1990 through 1998, she worked every Saturday at the Stagecoach Inn preparing "grandma's" famous biscuits and gravy.
She and her twin sister, Eileen, began carving carousel horses in their 60's. They became quite accomplished at the art and carved many through a 10 year period. It was only natural as they had grown up loving horses and rode in many horse shows.
Special thanks to Mary (Schrier) Thomas (niece), for all her help and support. Also, Kevin Arrien's friendship and support with financial and property maintenance for Elaine. The family would like to thank Yvonne Gray and her family for their wonderful care during mother's last months with us.
In lieu of flowers and contributions, we ask that you take your mother to lunch or dinner and let her know she is loved.
