Allyn Wallace Obituary

Allyn Wallace Allyn Goss Wallace, 58, of Pasadena, Calif., passed away peacefully in her Los Osos home on Monday, November 3, 2014. Allyn moved to the Central Coast in 1974 to help her family establish Chamisal, the first commercial vineyard and winery in the Edna Valley. Raised in a family of restaurateurs, Allyn developed an early appreciation for all things food and wine. Family and friends were enveloped by her hospitality and feasted on her culinary creativity. Allyn possessed an unparalleled knack for entertaining. In Avila Beach, Allyn met and fell in love with her neighbor, James Neil Wallace. They married in 1995, and along with raising a family, they embraced world travel, fine dining, and Central Coast living. Allyn served the community as the owner and operator of a reputable family childcare center. Her delight in new and exciting experiences shaped her business philosophy and inspired those in her care. She is survived by her husband, James Neil Wallace of Los Osos; her brother, Thomas Goss of Arroyo Grande; her daughter, Sutter Nickerson (Spencer) of Los Osos; her son, Cam Boyd (Stacey) of Singapore; and three granddaughters: Campbell, Monet, and Judith. She is preceded in death by her father, Norman Goss and her mother, Carolyn Gibbon Goss. Those close to her will remember Allyn for her witty humor, thoughtful generosity, and a remarkably authentic chicken impersonation. In lieu of flowers, remembrances should be held in the form of a delicious meal shared with those you love. Sign her guestbook at sanluisobispo.com/obituaries

I will miss miss her forever and will always remember our days of going out shopping, and getting sushi after. She made us all laugh with her giraffe sounds that she would make, and whenever I pass something with a giraffe on it, I think of her. She will forever be in our hearts.
