Obituary

Sheila Allen peacefully returned to the Lord’s embrace at the age of 63 after battling cancer for a decade.

Born to David Jerome Allen and Carole Phillips in Chicago, Illinois, she served as a second-generation Chicago Police Officer for over 35 years and was a gifted gardener. Most notably, she was a truly selfless and devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend.

Sheila is survived by her parents, her sister Patricia Swoboda, brother Mark Allen, her three daughters Barbara Feeley (Scott), Meagan Blahnik (Dustin), and Heather Conner (Ryan), and her six granddaughters, Grace, Nora, Maeve, Clare, Tessa, and Rita.

Her Funeral Mass will be held at St. Columbkille Catholic Church in Fort Myers, Florida at 11;00 on the 4th of December 2025. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent in her name to the Catholic Charities of America.

    Rest in peace, Sheila. You’ll always be remembered as a great mother and friend. You kept up with Meagan and Kelly when A&M Galveston was evacuated from Hurricane Ike. Since then, you’ve become a good friend who baked, sent cards and welcomed Kelly. You’ll forever be in our hearts. Our deepest condolences to Meagan and family. Betty

    At a time like this, not one thing can be said to ease the loss of Sheila. My time knowing her personally was shorter than I would have liked. I remember laughing with her, enjoying good food, and having stimulating conversation. She was definitely a women who had thought out her opinions. Her perspective on the world was always unique to me, probably due to her service to the public as a police officer. She always welcomed me warmly and with a good spirit when ever I had the honor of visiting her home. I feel that its never enough time, but I know that shes resting now and at peace. Blessings and peace to the loved ones she left behind.
