Helen Ann Allen, age 94 of Logan, Iowa passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at Azria Health Longview in Missouri Valley, Iowa.
Helen was born on December 23, 1930, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Vernon (Bud) and Gladys Ager. She graduated from Missouri Valley High School in 1949 and on August 31, 1951, she married the love of her life Raymond (Bud) Allen. They made their home in Logan, Iowa where they raised their daughter, Cindy. Helen was blessed with two grandchildren, Nikki Madsen and Bryce Allen, whom she helped raise and was so very proud of.
Helen worked for the General Telephone Company (in Missouri Valley and Logan) for many years before she began working at Linda Lou’s Bar and Grill until she retired sometime in her late 70’s.
Helen loved being around people and in her world, there were no strangers, just friends she hadn’t met yet. She had a love for gardening, crossword puzzles, solitaire, family and the Lord. She lived a very simple life, not needing much in the material world. Instead, she found happiness in gratitude and love and saw beauty in everything around her. She was tiny but she was mighty and left her mark on everyone who knew her.
Helen was preceded in death by her parents Vernon and Gladys Ager, son Brian, husband Raymond (Bud), daughter Cindy and brother-in-law Jerry Skelton.
She is survived by her sister, Nancy Skelton, grandchildren Nikki (Matt Michael) Madsen and Bryce (Jerrica) Allen, 5 great-grandchildren Wyatt and Laynie Michael and Emmarie, Oaklyn and Rhett Allen as well as 4 nieces Tammy (Tim) Podraza, Kim (Ron) Riggle, Tracy (Russ) McHugh and Chris (Mike) Guinan and 14 great nieces and nephews and 41 great-great nieces and nephews.
