She graduated from Midway High School in 2001 where she was a nationally-ranked high school debater and the UIL State 4-A champion in cross-examination debate her senior year. Allie graduated from the University of Texas in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Government. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and she dearly loved her friends and college experience. Since college graduation, she was living and working in Washington, D.C. Allison’s positive outlook on living and refusal to give up after her illness was diagnosed was an inspiration to anyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Allison knew her time on earth was limited, yet she remained strong and lived each and every day to the fullest, brightening people’s lives along the journey. She was comforted by the knowledge that God was in control and she was ultimately in His hands. Left to treasure the memory of her life are her parents, The Honorable Jim and Carolyn Meyer of Waco, Flynn and Lorraine Bucy of McLean, VA, her grandparents, Dr. James and Helen Cole of Waco, Dr. Ralph and Dr. June Bucy of Harrisonburg, VA, Paul and Jane Meyer of Waco, and Walter and Marylu Raushenbush of Coronado, CA. She is predeceased by the late Sam and Betty Boyd. Allie loved her siblings very much: Cole Bucy of Washington, D.C., Jason Bucy of Waco, Mike Meyer and Brady Meyer of Dallas, and Johnny Bucy and Elizabeth Bucy of McLean, VA. Allie had special relationships with many aunts, uncles and cousins. The family would like to thank Scott Phillips of Atlanta, GA for his special friendship with Allie.
