Allred, Mabel Finlayson
Mabel Finlayson Allred 1919 ~ 2005 Born on January 11, 1919, a "blue baby" and
a twin during the World War I influenza epidemic, Mabel spent her first
moments in an oven being 'warmed up'. And how she warmed up to life! She lived
with a passion for beauty and a remarkable capacity for unconditional love.
She survived rheumatic fever, a sensitive nature, and raids by the FBI, and,
like Thoreau, spent a night in jail for her convictions. She walked in grace,
celebrating life and seeing always the best in others, including her parents,
Reginald Patrick Finlayson and Ettie Josephine Hanson, her sisters Birdie
(Covington) and Carol (Lloyd Sullivan) and Melba (her twin and her
sister-wife) and her brother (David Reginald). The love of her life was her
husband, Dr. Rulon C. Allred, who shared her delight in people and the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. She lavished her children, David Laddie (Terry), Joseph
Laurie (Julie), Jared Rulon (Joanne), Dorothy Jeanne Solomon (Bruce), Gary
Stephen (Bonnie), Robbie Marcus (Kayleen), with love and respect, bestowing a
legacy of personal freedom. She showered each of her 25 grandchildren with
individual appreciation. Her 13 great- grandchildren know that in Grandma
Mabel's kingdom, even "little people" matter, perhaps most of all. Her
romantic spirit, expressed through her piano playing at weddings, church
services, musical productions, and radio recordings, lives on in her many
students, in our hearts, and in paradise where she walks now with loved ones
who passed on before her. She was truly an elect lady, who continued to grow
throughout her life. After 65 years as the pianist of the Allred polygamous
group, she re-embraced her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and visited the LDS temple soon after her 84th birthday. She
passed away peacefully on May 6, 2005 at 6:30 a.m., due to complications
following surgery. Though she will be missed, her love will abide. We will
celebrate her life and comfort one another at a viewing on Tuesday, May 10,
2005, from 7 to 9 p.m. Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, Salt Lake City,
and on Wednesday, May 11, 2005, at a brief viewing (9:00-9:45 a.m.) followed
by the funeral at 10:00 a.m. at the Millcreek Eighth Ward, 4600 South 600
East. The graveside service takes place at Larkin Sunset Lawn Cemetery, 2350
East 1300 South, at 1:00 p.m.
