Allen's full obituary by Brunswick Funeral Home:

MAGDALENE ROSE ALLEN

December 11, 1992 - August 25, 2016

Our beautiful Maggie, the sweetest, most loving gift a family could ever wish for, whose life was cut short so tragically‐our "kitten" was loved and cherished unreservedly by her devoted family and so, so many friends.

"Magpie's" ever‐cheerful disposition, sparkling smile, and clever sense of humor brought joy to all who were lucky enough to know her. She was a ray of sunshine‐surely a child of God.

Our "kitten" is now an angel among God's heavenly angels‐a "kitten" with wings.

Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8

Survived by her beloved mother and father Roy and Cami Allen, her much loved brother Max,her dearly loved sister Kerri, her beloved "Nanny", Rose Nickas, and dear grandfather Clifford E. Allen Sr., many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, and her baby boo pug, Nina, whom she brought home as our New Year's Day surprise.

Private arrangements were entrusted to The Brunswick Memorial Home, East Brunswick. (www.brunswickmemorialhome.com)
