Cove, UT - Cindy Lee Allen, 53, was granted the freedom to reunite with her family and father in heaven, after a relentless battle with liver failure on Sept. 26, 2005.
Cindy was born in Salt Lake City, to Dott Mitchell and E. Forrest Cullimore on March 3, 1952. Raised in American Fork and Murray, Cindy graduated from Murray High School in 1970 and was married the following year to Steve Jacobsen, from 1971-1980. In 1977, Cindy gave birth to her only natural child, her daughter, Tracy Diane.
Cindy started her career as a single working mother about 3 years later with Costco Wholesale where she was a key member of the office administration and an overall warehouse department "expert". Cindy loved and was loved by everyone she came into contact with, making success and perfection appear to be seemingly effortless tasks. She was loyally employed with Costco for 15 years. In 1999, Cindy found and married her soulmate, James Ray Allen of Cove and was employed with the family business, Allen Rock, shortly after moving to Cove. There she worked for about 5 years, until she was no longer physically able, due to serious health problems. Cindy and husband "Jim" raised oldest son Casey, daughter Jamie, and youngest son Caleb together through good times and bad, with immense efforts despite the struggles. Above everything else in her life, being a mother was most important to Cindy. She will forever be loved, missed and cherished.
Survived by father Forrest and wife Billie, brother Mike and wife Carolyn, daughter Tracy, husband James, and son's Casey and Caleb and daughter Jamie. Preceeded in death by her mother Dott, sister Joan, and brother, Hal.
