Allison Ruth Howard

Allison Ruth Howard was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 27, 2004, and joyfully entered the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 27, 2026.

Allison grew up in Wisconsin and Maryland, where she attended Mount Airy Christian Academy. In 8th grade, Allison moved with her family to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she graduated from Isaac Newton Christian Academy in 2022. When she moved to Texas for warmer weather in October 2025, Allison quickly connected with her church family at The Creek Fort Worth, and treasured time spent in Bible study courses there. She was very intelligent and mechanically gifted, which made her especially excited to begin an aircraft mechanic program at AIM in Fort Worth, Texas on September 28th. With her radiant smile and quirky sense of humor, Allison collected friends everywhere she went… especially furry and feathered ones! Allison cherished her pets—Timber, Watts, Junebug, Jeffrey, and many before—and loved having a zoo in her apartment. From summers spent at Greenwood Hills Bible Camp to late night Taco Bell runs, she was always an adventure-seeker.

Allison loved her family deeply and is missed tremendously by her parents, Michael and Erin, sister and brother-in-law, Laura and Patrick, Grandma Shoe, Grandma and Grandpa Howard, Grandma and Grandpa T, Auntie Amy, Uncle Brad, Uncle Jon, cousins Annie, Charlie, and Julia, and countless friends and relatives.

She is joined in glory with her grandfather, Paul Pelczynski, and great-grandparents, Gigi and Papa. The visitation will be at Cedar Valley Bible Church 3636 Cottage Grove Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403 on Friday, October 9, 2026 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. with a service immediately to follow. We especially welcome all of Allison’s biker friends but respectfully request that you leave your motorcycles at home.

A private, family-only burial will be held at a later date.
