Muriel S Allen

Muriel S. Allen, passed away on August 9, 2024. She was born on May 1, 1957 in Chicago,

IL to the late Chester Allen Sr. and Vera Allen (Scott).

Muriel had two sons, Louis Allen and Lance Debouse

Sr., and one daughter, Jessica Turner (Lowery).

Muriel worked as a server and did housekeeping until

she became ill working as a housekeeper in a

healthcare facility.

Muriel enjoyed going out and about, playing video or

phone games, talking to friends, and spending time

with family. Her love for cooking and delicious food is

what brought everyone together. Muriel never left

anyone out or behind, therefore she took in a lot of

“strays” as she would say, but those people were

treated like family and will always be family.

Muriel was like the black sheep and did her own thing, but if you knew her, you’d know

how selfless she was. She was always the one who picked up the pieces and made

something out of nothing. She was the one who always took people in and cared for

everyone, even when she had absolutely nothing, and that stayed true until her last

moments on Earth.

Muriel was preceded in death by her parents Chester and Vera Allen, brothers Chester

Allen Jr., Kenneth Allen, Alvin Allen, and Larry Allen, and sister Rita Allen, and a son

Louis Allen.

Muriel leaves fond memories to be cherished by her son Lance Debouse, daughter

Jessica Turner (Andgrie); her sisters Allegra Allen, Sandra Shepard, Elaine Manual, and

Marcia Allen-Ward (David); grandchildren Yasmin Debouse, Laresha Johnson,

Lavantee’ Lowery, Lance Debouse Jr., Marissa Debouse, Kahlil Lowery, Michael Gabriel

Debouse; and her great grandchildren Nevaeh Elkins, Deacon Elkins, Melani Lowery,

and River Elkins. She also leaves to cherish her memory many nephews, nieces,

adopted children, and special friend, Jackie Grady, and special daughter, Sarah

Carpenter.
