Diane Allen, age 73, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025, at Bethesda North Hospital.

Born on December 15, 1951, in Cincinnati, Diane was the beloved daughter of the late Kenneth and Thelma Jett. On January 11, 1969, she married the love of her life, Francis “Frank” Christopher Allen, Sr., in Goshen, Ohio. Together, they shared 56 years of unwavering love and devotion.

Diane dedicated herself first to her family, staying at home to raise her children before joining the workforce. She later worked at Meijer in Eastgate, where she was a valued employee until her retirement.

Family was the center of Diane’s world. She found immense joy in spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A proud and patriotic woman, Diane supported her husband, son, and two grandsons who served in the United States Army.

She is survived by her devoted husband Frank Allen, her son Chris (Cindy) Allen, and her daughter Carla (Chris) Pennington. Diane was a proud grandmother to Laike (Alice), Shawn (Makyia), Jacob (Erika), Dalton, Colton, Dawson, and Owen; and a cherished great-grandmother to Dominic, Aiden, Kira, Alex, Onyx, Aira, Evangaleigh, Sebastian, Xander, Isabelle, Amelia Jane, and Beckett.

A private gathering will be held at an undisclosed location. The family kindly asks for privacy during this difficult time.

Diane will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her warmth, strength, and enduring love for her family.
