Allen Wells

Allen Ray Wells, Sr., departed this life on Monday, July 5, 2021, one we loved so dearly stepped out of time on this side and stepped over into eternity on the other side into a land where he'll never grow old. He was born on September 17, 1953, to the late Lenard C & Beatrice Wells in Louisa, LA.

He was a member and deacon at St. Mark Baptist Church in Cade, LA under the leadership Pastor Taurica. He later joined Triumph Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Pastor Clarence Stewart, Sr., and remained a faithful, and dedicated deacon under the leadership of the present Pastor Carl F. Lewis, Sr. He was always willing to do whatever was asked of him. He went beyond the call of duty as a deacon and served as Jeff Beverly's assistant. The imprint of who he was will forever be etched in the hearts of all those who loved him.

He finished his education at Franklin Sr. High School. He was employed by Hilcorp, and as a gauger with Quail Tools in New Iberia, LA until his retirement.

On January 7, 1994, Allen married the loved of his life Dianne Wells she remained faithful by his side until his earthly departure. One of his favorite pass time was baking for his loved ones. He also enjoyed traveling and dining out with his beloved wife. His favorite place to go was Borden's Ice Cream to get a banana split. Allen Ray was an avid New Orleans Saints football fan.
