Allison Ann Hull

Allison Ann Hull, 54, of Buckhannon, W.Va., passed away unexpectedly in her home on Wednesday, June 26, 2019.

She was born May 6, 1965 in Weston, W.Va. to James and Susan Hull of Weston. She was a Baptist by faith.

During her youth, Allison was a very active horsewoman. She and her American Saddlebreds, Sony and Squeak, won multiple adult class championships throughout West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Allison graduated from Lewis County High School in 1983 and went on to attend Wesleyan College where she was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority.  Her hard work was rewarded when she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1987. She continued her education at West Virginia University and in 1989, earned her Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology.

After living and working a number of years in Baltimore, Md. and Pittsburgh, Pa., Allison returned to her “home” of Wesleyan where she was an instructor in the Biology department for the past 11 years. Additionally, she was an advisor to the Alpha Delta Pi sorority and active in college athletics. Allison served as the faculty representative to the softball and women’s soccer teams.

Allison’s greatest joy at Wesleyan was the success of many students who attended professional schools and graduate programs upon completion of their undergraduate studies.

She was a devoted Washington Capitals fan, but for Allison every day was not simply a good day but rather a great day to be a Bobcat!

In addition to her parents, Allison is survived by one bother and sister-in-law, Jonathan and Christina Hull of Spotsylvania, Va.; the nieces she was so proud of: Kelsea Hull of Alexandria, W.Va. and Katherine Hull of Fairfax, Va.; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins across the nation.

Friends and family will gather at Pat Boyle Funeral Home and Cremation Service located at 144 Hackers Creek Rd. in Jane Lew From 3-6 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2019. Funeral Services will be held in the Pat Boyle Funeral Home Chapel at 6 p.m. on Saturday with Bob Skinner officiating.

We, at Pat Boyle Funeral Home and Cremation Service, are honored and privileged to serve the family of Allison Ann Hull. Online condolences may be expressed at www.PatBoyleFuneralHome.com.
