Allison was a devoted single mum, loving grandmother, admired friend and adored colleague at Â鶹ֱ²¥ for more than 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a passionate advocate for women and believed in the power of education to enrich the mind and embolden the heart. As a single mum, Allison was a wonderful role model for her daughter, Rachael and while working full time, Allison persisted with her own education, attaining her undergraduate degree in her late 40s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
