It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dione Michell Allen, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister, who departed this life on July 25, 2026, at the age of 54. Born on September 8, 1971, in Detroit, Michigan, Dione was a beacon of love, warmth, and grace, whose generous spirit touched everyone she encountered.
Dione was the cherished daughter of Joyce Woods, who instilled in her a deep sense of compassion and resilience. She carried these values throughout her life, spreading kindness and understanding to all those around her. Her nurturing spirit was most evident in her role as a devoted mother to her two children, Robin and Leon Woods. Dione's love for her children was immeasurable, and she imparted to them the importance of kindness, hard work, and the significance of family bonds.
Dione's family was the center of her universe, and she was a beloved wife to her husband Samuel Allen who stood by her side through life's joys and challenges. Together, they built a life filled with love and laughter, creating a home that was always warm and welcoming to family and friends alike.
She was also a proud grandmother to five beautiful grandchildren, who were the lights of her life. Dione found immense joy in watching them grow and cherished every moment spent with them, creating memories that will forever be treasured.
Dione was a loving sister to her brothers, Maurice Phillips and Lawrence Woods and her late Brother James Woods. Their sibling bond was unbreakable, and they shared countless memories filled with laughter and mutual support.
The family invites friends and loved ones to join them in celebrating Dione's life on August 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the O.H. Pye Funeral Home. It will be a time to honor her legacy, share cherished memories, and find comfort in the love that she leaves behind.

Poem / Prayer
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
Special Thanks
The family of Dione Michell Allen extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time.
