Allie's extended family are too numerous to mention; however, Allie was helped by all of you to become a Godly woman who was thoughtful, brave, quirky, inspirational, hilarious, creative, loving and nurturing. Allie was home-schooled most of her formative years. She was active in her church and attained her Timothy Award from AWANA; she holds the record for the fastest three legged race of the AWANA Olympics. She enjoyed hockey and Track and Field. Allie was a 2009 Anoka Ambassador and Miss Congeniality. During her Ambassador candidacy, she stated "oh, and I want to have 27 children someday." Allie graduated from the U of M, Twin Cities with a degree in Communications and was involved in Campus Crusade for Christ. Allie founded Natural Suds cleaning company and She Laughs Boutique she named after Proverbs 31:25 - "she is clothed in strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."
