Obituary

Margaret Rose (Jett) Allen, 25, of Delavan, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April 15, 2024.

Margaret was born on September 11, 1998, in Park Ridge IL, the daughter of Douglas Jett and Sarah (Mark) Flahaven. She married Theodore Allen in June of 2022.

Anyone lucky enough to love and be loved by Margaret knows the impact she had on every life she touched. She had a magnetic passion for music, gardening, baking, literature, and animals–especially her two cats, Baby & Henry, and dog, Diane; and she loved spending time with her husband, Theo.

Margaret was named winner of the William Howard Award for Excellence in Writing and the Sutter Award for Historiography from Illinois State University. Her work will be published in the Spring 2024 edition of Recounting the Past, a student journal at ISU that represents the highest quality of research in the History Department.

Margaret’s life here and hereafter is one to be celebrated, for we who remain grieve as those who yet have hope. Her soul is with God, but her spirit of joy, strength, and love will forever abide in the hearts of those who choose to remember.

Margaret is survived by her husband, Theo; parents, Douglas Jett and Sarah (Mark) Flahaven; siblings, Violette, William, and Charlotte Flahaven; maternal grandmother, Vickie Loranca; grandfather, Gary Shuler; great-grandmother, Lois Schad; paternal grandmother, Mary Foley; and great-grandparents, Justine McKeon & William Stroud. She was preceded in death by her great-grandfather, Bill Schad.

The Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, April 26, 2024, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Bloomington, IL. Visitation will take place the night prior on Thursday, April 25, 2024, from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm at the Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to the Margaret Rose Scholarship Fund through Delavan Schools [or Paypal @MargaretRose24, paypal.me/MargaretRose24].
