Alleyne graduated from Central High school in 1927, and Pine Manor Jr. 
College in 1929. She was affiliated with Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at the 
University of Oklahoma. In 1934 Alleyne married Charles Andrew Schweinle, 
Jr. son of another prominent banker and businessman. Both Alleyne's father 
and father-in-law were instrumental in founding Fidelity National Bank, 
the predecessor to the Bank of Oklahoma. The Schweinles had come to 
Oklahoma in the year of the run, 1889. Charles A. Schweinle, Jr. followed 
his father into banking and joined Albert Schabel in forming the insurance 
company of Schweinle-Schabel. Alleyne is preceded in death by her husband

bridge clubs with lifelong friends. She was a member of the Episcopal 
Church and worked with the Altar Guild over the years at both All Souls 
Church and St. Paul's Cathedral. In 1979 she and her daughter co-founded 
with Dorothy Moore and her daughter Dale Mullin, DOROTHY MOORE'S a woman's 
apparel store. For ten years she danced competively with Dance Magic 
Studio. Her family would like to give special thanks to Barbara Reeves for 
her loving care and companionship, to Dana Biglow and the splendid care 
provided at The Mansion at Waterford and to Frontier Hospice. In lieu of 
flowers the family suggest donations could be made to The Guild of St. 
George, an Episcopal outreach service at St. Paul's Cathedral or to a 
private charity of choice. A memorial Eucharist will be held on Friday at 
4pm at St. Paul's Cathedral.
