In memoriam
Allen Stilson, SD'69

Allen Stilson, SD’69 son of Mildred Stilson and the late Homer Stilson, passed away at his home March 11, after a long illness. Graveside services were held on Friday, March 15, in Loma Linda. A memorial service was held Sabbath, March 16, at the Rolling Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Family, friends, and coworkers shared memories of Dr. Stilson and his Christian influence on their lives. There were tears as well as laughter as stories of family and professional life were recalled. His many dental patients mourn the loss of their “painless” dentist.

Allen married Vonda Larsen August 16, 1960. After graduating from Loma Linda, he set up a practice in Torrance. Their family grew to include three children: Dr. Doug Stilson (LLUSD’90), Janelle Stilson Bender, an occupational therapist (LLU ’91), and Dr. Jennifer Stilson Hoffer (LLUSD’94).

Dr. Stilson is survived by his wife, Vonda, children: Doug, Janelle, and Jennifer; mother, Mildred; brother, Dwight, sister, Claudia; and six grandchildren, the youngest born the day after he died.
