Allison A. Burrows

Allison A. Burrows, 63, of Monclova, OH passed away Friday, February 23, 2018, at Otterbein supported by her friends. She was born on December 27, 1954, in Birmingham, Michigan to Ray H. Burrows and Bettie (McNabb) Burrows. She moved to Perrysburg, Ohio in Junior High and graduated from Perrysburg High School.
