She volunteered with the Laubach reading program, the YWCA, Salvation Army, knitted hats for the babies at Mercy Hospital, and also enjoyed singing in the St. Mary’s Resurrection Choir. She
was a long-standing member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. if you knew Allie, you were blessed by her positive outlook, sense of humor, and beautiful smile. Despite the losses in her life, she always looked on the bright side and trusted God. Her family will always remember her unconditional love for them.
Allie is preceded in death by husband Harold Figi and her siblings, Dean Burnham, Dorothy Johnson, Pat Frick, and Barbara Shook. She is survived by her 5 sons and daughters, Dave (Judy) Figi of Janesville, Steve (Su) Figi of Menasha, Ellen (Ken) Kitelinger of Janesville, Scot (Mary)Tutton of Folsom, CA and Barb (Ray) Napoletano of Scottsdale, AZ.

Allie’s family is indebted to the amazing staff of Huntington Place and Heartland Hospice for the extraordinary love and care shown to Allie over the last 5 years and in her final days. Her caretakers have become like family and loved Allie like she was their own mother. They’d also like to thank Dr. Pat Sitorius and nurse Mitzi Mason for their years of compassionate care.
Visitation will be from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Thursday, October 19, 2017 at Nativity of Mary Catholic Church with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 11 a.m. Father Ray Kertz will preside.
