Mar 1, 2020

Phyllis was born to Roy L. Ammon and Ada (Gross) Ammon on Aug. 23, 1928, at Sidney, Ohio. She was raised on a farm; during her junior and senior high school years, she milked cows and worked the fields and harvested crops.

She married Leroy N. Allinger on June 19, 1948. They moved to Alaska in 1952. Phyllis was a charter member of three Lutheran churches in the Anchorage area, and was also a Girl Scout leader for years. She was employed with the Anchorage School District for 22 years in the lunch program.

She enjoyed needlepoint, biking, walking, cross-country skiing, ice skating and softball.

She is survived by four daughters, Diana Rickett of Georgia, Linda Staley of Wasilla, Alaska, Beverly Camara of Hawaii, and Bonny Rivera of Anchorage; 10 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one sister, Virginia Ammon of Ohio; and three sons-in-law, Charles Staley, Bernard Camara and Augustin Rivera.

There is no service, this is her wish. She will be cremated and her ashes will be sprinkled on the homestead grounds.

Memorial donations may be made to the Alaska Zoo.
