Rufina Allen

Obituary Rufina Allen, of Carrollton, TX was born on March 6, 1948 to mother Ninfa Garcia and father Telesforo Ramon in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Rufina passed away on July 1, 2020. Rufina loved life and enjoyed every minute of it. She had many talents she acquired over her years of working. She could cut and style hair, she could sew, and her cooking was amazing. No one made better tamales. One of Rufinas favorite hobbies was watching TV. She had her favorite novelas and was always up to date on the news. She stayed up all hours, being somehow both a night owl and an early bird when she needed to be. Rufina could have coffee at any time of day. Her face would light up if you asked if she wanted a cup of coffee, but you had to make sure it was made just right as she was not shy to tell you if it tasted like "sock water". Through the tough exterior life taught her to put up, she was so sweet, and had a huge heart. Family was always number 1 to her. She could spend hours on the phone with her brothers, joking about old times and looking forward to when she could get together with them again so they could make fun of each other in person, as they loved to do. Rufina could also often be found up all night cracking jokes with her cousins on the phone. She was always staying connected with her family, even those she hadn't't seen in years. Rufina loved each of her daughters in her own special way. Fina and her could have had a fight and two days later be found having a beer together and laughing, or driving together to Laredo for one of Chapo's parties. Juanita could always count on her mom when she needed her, whether just to talk, or when she was going through hard times. Rufina believed in Nereyda and all her ambitions and dreams, from being in band in high school to graduating from university. She also never missed morning coffee and novela rundowns with Nery. Even though Rufina was quick to pick fights with Rocio, she was and always will be her baby. Rufina was also crazy about her grandchildren and she would do anything and everything for them. She will be deeply missed. Rufina is preceded in death by her parents, Telesforo and Ninfa; siblings Leopoldo Ramon and Juan Ramirez; grandchildren Jovan and Angelita. Rufina is survived by her daughters Fina Allen-Guzman, Juanita Allen, Nereyda Allen, and Rocio Allen; grandchildren Jeanette, Angel, Rodolfo Jr., Alexandria, Emmalie, Magali, Emmanuel Jr., and Giulianna; Great grandchild Elijah; Siblings Serapio Ramon, and Gregorio Ramon as well as many nieces and nephews.
