Allegra S. Cannon, the first female
wholesale bakery manager, died
May 5, following a 15-year battle
with cancer. She was 79. In 1952,
Ms. Cannon began working for the
J.J. Nissen Baking Co. in Portland,
ME. She served as a shop steward
and recording secretary for the local
baker's union and in 1959 enrolled
in management and leadership
classes at the University of Maine.
That same year she became plant
manager for the Freihofer Baking
Co.'s cake plant. She later oversaw
the construction of the company's
Danish, sweet yeast and puff line
plant, the first computerized commercial bakery operation in the
country. She was also recruited by
Jimmy Hoffa in 1964 to organize
women for the Teamsters Union
nationwide. After retirement in
1987, Ms. Cannon co-founded the
ClearView Group, Inc. with her son
and daughter-in-law and served as a
worldwide consultant to the baking
industry for the next 10 years. Services were held May 11.
