June 4 1992 November 12 2021
Obituary God welcomed home His daughter, Dr. Allison Kathleen Kohnen Rohling, on Friday November 12, 2021. Allison was born in Bay City, Texas, on June 4, 1992, to parents Michael and Leslie Kohnen. As the oldest of three girls, Allison was always a confident and driven trailblazer with big dreams for her future. She worked hard her entire life to achieve them; in 2010, she graduated at the top of her class from Bay City High School and three years later she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi. It was here that she not only enjoyed her love of the beach, but met her biggest supporter and future husband, Weldon Stephen Rohling. She then went on to receive her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 2016. After this, she practiced her passion in Fort Worth, Brownwood, and Stephenville before being accepted to a Pediatric Residency at the UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry in 2021. She was naturally outgoing, bubbly, and pure of heart. In her childhood, she found joy in dance, cheerleading, track, softball, and a number of other sports. As an adult, she enjoyed spending her free time doing yoga, art projects, skiing and cooking with those close to her. Her professional life was more than a career for her, it was a passionate endeavor. Over the years, she committed herself to making healthy dental hygiene attainable for as many people as possible. She spent innumerable hours volunteering her time and effort here in the States and abroad. It was her time in these under-served areas, in combination with her new adventure as a mother, which inspired her to specialize in pediatric dentistry. Allison truly had a magnetic personality and shared her love of life and Christ with the many friends she found along the way. Above all, Allison loved Jesus. She accepted Christ and publicly professed her love for the Lord at an early age. She continued to keep faith as a foundational pillar throughout her life. She loved being with her brothers and sisters in Christ at Camp Allen—she chose to spend her birthday there more often than not. She pointed many campers and counselors to Jesus by radiating His joy and love. Allison does not enter Heaven alone; she is predeceased by her “Grammy”, Catherine Brand; her “Aunt Kimmy”, Kimberly Lynne Martin; her step-grandpa, Bill Brand; her Grandpa, Bob Kohnen; her Grandpa, Oscar Jones; and her cousin, Amelia Kohnen. Her legacy will live on through her beautiful infant son, Whitton St. James Rohling. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Weldon Stephen Rohling; her parents, Michael and Leslie Kohnen; her sisters, Mackenzie Kirkpatrick and husband Justin, and Madison Barrington and husband Scott; her grandparents, Gloria “Nonna” and Bob Lynch; her step-grandmother, Maggie Jones; her mother-in-law, Nancy Rohling; her father-in-law, Greg Rohling and wife Emily; her siblings-in law: Sarah, Waylon, Weston, William, Warren and wife Monse, Sophia, Stephanie, Cory, and Wilfred; cousins who were as close as siblings: Delaney, Carly, Connor, Jenna, Kody, Riley, and Emma; as well as aunts, uncles, in-laws, and countless other friends who knew her. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at 10:00 AM at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in San Antonio, TX. Attendees are encouraged to wear bright colors to honor Allison’s vibrant personality and the joy she spread to others. Additionally, a celebration of life will be held at Allison’s home church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Bay City, TX on Saturday, November 27, 2021, at 10:30 AM.
