Ilene Delores Allison (Hamacher) died March 23, 2019 at Denver Hospice in Denver, CO. She was 92 years old.
Ilene was born at home in Matheson, CO to Ruby and Ted Hamacher on December 11, 1926. She was raised outside of Matheson. She attended Glazer School until the 8th grade. Ilene accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at the early age of 12.

She was also treasurer at Grace Baptist Church. She took part in the Hands of Love Convention in Agate on the I-70 corridor.
