Allyson G. Crisman, age 64, of Manitowoc, passed away early Saturday morning, March 15, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Allyson was born on August 19, 1960, in California, to the late Robert and Elizabeth (Hill) McKinney. She spent much of her life in Idaho before relocating to Wisconsin to live with her daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters after the passing of her beloved husband, Paul Crisman, in July 2024. Allyson had a love for sarcastic quotes, crocheting, and cooking, with a special fondness for reading – her extensive book collection being proof of that. Above all, she loved making memories with her family and enjoyed the time spent with her cat, Lucy-Fur.

Allyson brought a special spice to life with her sense of humor and quick wit, and will be dearly missed by her five children: Paul Christman Jr., Ryan (Jennifer) Smallin, Aaron Hayle, Sabrina (Mike) Marlyere, and John-Henry (Daysha) Ross; ten grandchildren: Josh, Jamel, Tayshaun, Cordell, Raina, Danasia, Kaden Koa, Adrian Allen, Declan, and Madlyn; sister: Sara Grosland; and fur-baby: Lucy-Fur.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Robert and Elizabeth McKinney; husband: Paul Crisman; son: Mark Crisman; and brother: Robert McKinney Jr.

Cremation has occurred at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory. A celebration of Allyson's life will be held by her family at a later date.
