Doris was born in Iowa at her parent's home in Wayne County on October 18, 1926. Her parents were Virgil and Ora (McKee) Couchman. Doris graduated from Sewal High School in 1944 and worked as a typist in Des Moines until she married Charles Max Allen. They eloped and were married at their minister's home on December 28, 1946. Doris was later baptized in Sewal, IA. Doris and Charles were married for 62 years and had three sons; Dennis Max, Ronald Mark, and Steven Don. They loved living on their farm, raising chickens, milking cows, and gardening. Doris belonged to the Harvard Garden Club for many years and she spent many hours crocheting and sewing hand-quilted quilts. Doris and Charles also went square dancing together. For many years Doris, Charles, and their three grown sons farmed together, working in the field and then working on the equipment! Doris' grandchildren visited the farm often, where they knew they would always find snacks tucked in the metal bread box on the counter or a piece (or two) of cheese in the refrigerator. Doris was a great cook and baker. She kept the cookie jar full of homemade cookies for her sons. Doris and Charles hosted many Sunday lunches for the family. She also made sure the family got together every month to celebrate birthdays, where the grandkids would pile onto the little red leather rocking chair. During holidays Doris made her homemade noodles and had a stash of fudge, peanut clusters, and frosted sugar cookies in the bedroom. Fudgesicles and other ice cream treats were kept in the freezer for her much loved grandchildren to enjoy. Doris has many family members left behind to remember her: sons Ronnie Allen (Jane) and Steve Allen (Larisa), and daughter-in-law Marcia Allen, 7 grandchildren: Angela Downs (Randy), Deanna Wiederholt (Vince), Melissa McAninch (Justin), Carissa Cox (Justin), Kevin Allen (Abby), Brent Allen (Cindy), and Jace Allen (Cassandra), 17 great grandchildren: Mary Ann (Brett), Zeb & Zach Nading, and Sydney Downs, Max Wiederholt, Morgan, Gabriella, and Tessa McAninch, Caden, Jordyn, and Carly Cox, Charles and Layla Allen, Parker, Hailey and Cohen Allen, and Sawyer Allen, one great great grandchild Deni Perkins, and sister-in-law Lorene Havner, as well as many extended family. Preceding her in death were parents Virgil and Ora, husband Charles, son Dennis, and brother and sister-in-law Keith and Carol Couchman. Visitation will take place all day Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at Thomas Funeral Home in Corydon. Graveside service will take place at Shriver Cemetery where she will be laid to rest beside her husband Charles. Memorials may be given to Sewal Community Center and condolences may be shared at www.thomasfh.com or facebook.com/thomasfuneralhome. She will be missed so very much!
