Sue was born August 4, 1958 in Ottawa to Thomas J. and Marie (Skoflanc) O'Shea. She married Jon Allen on December 8, 1975 in Morris. Sue was a member of the Ottawa Catholic Communities. Sue enjoyed taking trips to Chicago, especially to watch the White Sox. She loved taking family vacations to Daytona Beach.
Sue absolutely loved being surrounded by her family. She was everyone's biggest fan; she was the loudest cheerleader at her kids' and grandkids' sporting events, and she supported everyone's accomplishments. Sue had the biggest heart and was the most generous and giving woman.
She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Jon; two sons, Justin of Marseilles and Nick (Davi) of Vernon Hills; two grandchildren, Nolan and Hannah; four siblings, Kathy Mattingly of St. Louis, Dan O'Shea of Ottawa, Tom O'Shea of Ottawa, and Patti (Rocco) Paris of Grand Ridge; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
