Annette Lina Allison

ALLISON: Annette Lina. We regret to announce the passing of Annette Lina Allison on September 14th, 2013 at Hospice House in Vernon at the age of 76 years. She is survived by her sons Bruce (Moreen) Allison of Kelowna, Michael (Nicolette) Allison of Vernon; grandson Cory Allison of Vernon; step grandchildren Melissa Searle of Vancouver and Tom Searle of Calgary; step great grandchildren Brett and Hayleigh Searle and many extended family members in B.C., Ontartio and Quebec. Predeceased by her husband Gordon Allison (married 46 years). Annette moved from Quebec to Vernon with her husband Gordie and son Bruce in 1969, soon after the addition of son Michael rounded out her family dynamic. She was a compassionate, protective and motherly person who extended her abilities beyond her immediate family into the Vernon community where she worked at the Women’s Transition House for a number of years. She is fondly remembered as the best mom, grandmother, sister and auntie. The family thanks the staff, Dr. Perrier and Dr. Henly at the Vernon Hospital as well as the staff at Vernon Hospice House who took wonderful care of Annette. Donations to the Vernon Hospice House in memory of Annette would be so gratefully appreciated.
