Allen Mowery, age 88, of Coatesville, peacefully passed away at Freedom Village on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. He was the beloved husband, friend, and partner in life with the late Helen (Scott) Mowery who died in 2008. They were married for 52 years. Allen was the son of Edith (Mowery) Johnson and William Mowery. Allen was predeceased by his brother Wayne Mowery. He is survived by his three daughters Carolyn Utesch (husband Bill), Laurie Keen (husband Bill) and Sharon Paul (husband Scott), along with his 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
Allen graduated from Coatesville High School in 1952 and then went to Perkiomen Prep School. After prep school, he got married to the love of his life, Helen, and enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1956 living in Virginia. After serving his time in the Reserve, Allen and Helen moved back to Coatesville, PA when he took on full time work as a home builder employed by John Eshelman, Reds Russell and Lowell Armstrong.
Allen transitioned to a professional office role at Lukens Steel in Coatesville where he was employed for nearly 25 years. For extra income Allen took on side jobs in carpentry and roofing for many years. After Helen got her Real Estate License, they invested in real estate renovating and reselling homes. They also began renting properties in Coatesville. For the past 20 years, Allen took on the hobby of repairing and selling lawn mowers throughout Chester Country.
Allen’s lifelong passion was sports, especially baseball. He played baseball starting in elementary school. He was a left-handed pitcher and a right-handed batter. He played varsity from 9th – 12th grade. After high school baseball, Allen then played varsity pitching for Perkiomen Prep School. He was very active in playing the Twilight League in the 1950s and 1960s. He also played on the Presbyterian “Presbys” Softball Team for nearly 15 years.
Allen treasured his family and enjoyed his friendships. He was a person of Christian faith and lived a life serving others in his church and community. His indomitable spirit encouraged his family and friends to persist in the face of life’s challenges.

Allen's Family and Friends...
Allen's Family and Friends....We were class mates, team mates and most of all, friends. Never met him without a smile on his face. Hold fast to the fond memories.
I am so blessed that I met
I am so blessed that I met Allen at Little Chef in 2011 while working there. I then started to clean for his rental properties as tenants moved out and then his house. I enjoyed many special meals with him and many jokes he shared. He was an amazing kind, caring, and funny man. I will be praying for comfort to the family.
Sympathy to Alan’s family
Your dad was a very kind man with a sense of humor. We met your parents at Coatesville basketball games and kept in touch over the years. He was so good to your mom and grieved over her illness. We also talked about Indiana basketball and Leo high school since Leo was a rival of my high school, Arcola. My sympathy to all of you.

So very sad to hear the news
So very sad to hear the news of his passing. He was a great neighbor and friend. I guess I'll now have to sharpen my own mower blades. God bless you Allen and may you rest in peace.

Just read of Allen’s passing while searching. Allen and I were friends and teammates at Perkiomen. He was a very nice young man and my sympathy to his family.

Very interesting biography. I'm also in the real estate business like Allen. I like selling houses. And thanks to the site https://homery.design/services/green-lawn/ I was able to successfully sell real estate. We have made attractive looking sketches. And we saw that our photos began to attract many buyers.
