SACATON - Gloria Johnson Allison, 74, of Sacaton died peacefully on Aug. 4, 2016.

Ms. Allison was born on May 7, 1942, in Sacaton to Vernon Enos and Delma Cook. She was known as a loving, beautiful woman who cared for all she came in contact with.

She enjoyed being a part of Ira H. Hayes American Legion Auxiliary, basket weaving, listening to her music and spending time with family.

Survivors include a son, Wayne Allison of Sacaton; a daughter, Yvonne Davis of Sacaton; 11 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Virgil Allison.
