Becky was a lifelong resident of Posey County, graduating from Mount Vernon High School, going on to IU Bloomington where she earned her bachelor's in biology and graduated with her Doctor of Optometry degree from the IU School of Optometry.

Zackary N. Allyn Memorial Fund
A fund established in loving memory of Zackary N. Allyn by his sister, Alaina Allyn, to help Mount Vernon High School seniors who aspire to work in a trade and were involved in FFA or 4-H.
Zack Allyn was kind-hearted, passionate, and would do anything for anyone. He was always interested in using his hands, no matter if that was welding, fixing up a car, or spraying crops. Upon graduating from Ivy Tech, Zack found a place to work at his family’s farm. There, he enjoyed harvesting crops in the combine, driving the sprayer, or hauling in the semi.
Zack graduated from Mount Vernon Senior High School in 2015. During high school, Zack was extremely involved with FFA and 4-H. His freshman year, he won Supreme Showman at the Posey County Fair. He also had the chance to show his sheep in the Grand Coliseum at the Indiana State Fair multiple years, winning champion in his breed and showmanship. Throughout his time in FFA, he held the offices of Treasurer and Vice President.
In November of 2022, Zack was driving to a spot shoot when he experienced a tragic accident. This fund will not only help Zack’s kind heartedness and generosity live on, but also his passion for the many trades.
