Allison Hope Clancy, 81, of Dubuque, Iowa passed away on Friday, March 12th, 2021, surrounded by family. She was living at Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community in Waverly.

Allison was born in August 1939 in Queens (Flushing) New York. She was the eldest of five born to Jules and Lydia. Allison graduated with honors from Flushing Nursing School as a Registered Nurse. Allison’s passion was being a nurse. She lived and breathed helping others. In her last months, she bonded with the nursing staff at Bartels. She was on the receiving end of the care she was used to give to others. She enjoyed giving them a hard time, but it was all in good fun. In Dubuque, she will be remembered by the Sisters of the Presentation, Dominican Sisters - St. Dominic Villa, and Heritage Manor for the many lives that she touched.

In February of 1960, Allison was united in marriage with Howard C. Clancy in New York. Together they lived all over the United States and had four delightful children.

She is survived by her children: son, Howard (Viann) Clancy III in Waverly, IA, son, Michael (Tina) Clancy in Memphis, TN, son, Patrick (Sheri) Clancy in Dubuque, IA, daughter, Megan Rinnan in Clive, IA; eleven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren - also surviving a brother, Russell, sister, Candi, and sister, Meri.
