Stella Marcelle "Marcie" Allen
December 31, 1926 — July 3, 2019
A Funeral Service for Stella Marcelle "Marcie" Allen of Lakeview, Arkansas, will be 10:00 am, Tuesday, July 16, 2019, at The Allen Funeral Home Chapel, Bloomington, Indiana, with Reverend David D. Puckett officiating. Visitation will be from 9:00 am until time of service. Burial will be in Clear Creek Cemetery, Bloomington, Indiana with Daniel Minnick, Gedian Bower, Caleb Bower, Israel Bower, Merrick Pool and David Minnick as pallbearers.
Marcie was born December 31, 1926, in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, the daughter of Delmar O. and Stella May Pfaff. She passed away on July 3, 2019 at the age of 92. After graduating from University High School in 1944 she moved to Indianapolis and worked as a secretary for Commercial Credit, Peerless Pump, and Eli Lilly’s until her step- daughter entered school.
Marcie married Clayton Wayne Moon on April 18, 1946, (divorced in 1970). His daughter Karen Kay (Moon) Tharp was loved and raised by Marcie as her own. They also had three sons, Randall Wayne, Kevin Clay, and Cris Warren.
After moving from Greenfield to Brown County she became secretary/treasurer for Helmsburg Elementary School, which was very hard on her three boys who attended the same. Marcie worked there for eight years then transferred to Indiana University for fourteen years, retiring with over twenty-two years of service for the state of Indiana.
Her hobbies included gardening-both vegetable and flowers, sewing, quilting, embroidery, but most of all CROCHETING, giving most of her work away to family and friends.
Marcie moved back to Bloomington in 1974 and married James F Allen in 1976. After twenty-five years of marriage James preceded her in death on October 10, 2001.
She loved church work and was president of Ladies Missionary at Greenfield Baptist Church for two years. She taught Sunday school and Bible school both at GBC and Unity Baptist Church in Brown County.
She was also president of the PTA at Helmsburg Elementary for two years.
Marcie and Jimmy attended Valley Mission Church of Nazarene for several years, later changing to Bloomington Holiness Church, which was closer to home.
Marcie loved the people from both churches but most of all she loved and lived for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, having been saved as a young girl and been a Christian all her life.
Marcie was preceded in death by her parents, two sons, (Randy and Cris) her husband, (James Allen), one brother, three sisters and two half sisters.
Marcie is survived by her brother, Glenn Pfaff (Linda), of Martinsville, IN, half sister, Mary Darlene, of Bloomington, IN, son, Kevin C. Moon (Althea) of Lakeview, AR, stepdaughter, Karen Kay Tharp (Larry) of Brown County, IN, stepson, Stanley Allen (Judy), of Indianapolis, IN, stepson James J. Allen (Susan) of Albuquerque, NM, eight grandchildren, Debbie Lord (Jim) of Topeka KS, Vicki Whitaker (Tom) of Topeka KS, Kaye Ann Flanigan of Indianapolis IN, Angela Wessler (Mike) of Fortville IN, Darcy Moon (Kerry White) of Metter GA, Alea Garcia Cid (Sabastian) of Plainfield IN, Bethany Moon (Jazmyn) of St Louis MO, and Nathan Allen (Lindsey) of Albuquerque, NM, thirteen great grandchildren, three great great grandchildren and many cherished nieces and nephews.
