Allen Lee Mansell

Allen Lee Mansell, known affectionately as Allen to his friends and family, passed away suddenly on May 14, 2024, at his residence in Cookeville. Born on January 11, 1967, in Glasgow, Kentucky, Allen's warmth and kindness touched all who knew him throughout his 57 years of life.

Allen's early years in Glasgow laid the foundation for a life characterized by love, dedication, and service. He carried these values with him as he built a life alongside his beloved wife, Amy Wheeler Mansell. Allen's love extended to his son, Michael Mansell, and siblings, Loretta Qualls (Jim), David Mansell (Lisa), Jimmy Mansell (Janet), and Eddie Mansell (Robin), all of whom shared in the joys and sorrows of life's journey with him. He was a cherished son-in-law to Ruby Wheeler and a supportive brother-in-law to Mark Wheeler (Jennifer). His nieces and nephews will remember him as a kind and loving presence in their lives.

Allen was preceded in death by his parents, Albert Mansell and Nellie Richards Mansell, who instilled in him the values of hard work and kindness that he carried throughout his life.

Professionally, Allen was known for his skill and dedication. He began his career as a mechanic at Russell Stover's Candies in Cookeville, where his attention to detail and problem-solving abilities were greatly valued. Later, he transitioned into a successful career as an insurance agent with Direct Insurance, serving the communities of Cookeville and McMinnville. His colleagues and clients alike respected Allen for his integrity and commitment to providing exceptional service.

Beyond his professional life, Allen was a man of many interests, but his greatest passion was for his family and friends. He was a loving and kind husband who always put others first. His care for his family was evident in every aspect of his life, and his friends could always count on him for support and a listening ear.

Allen's legacy is one of love and kindness, attributes that were the hallmark of his life. Those who knew him will remember his gentle demeanor, his willingness to help, and his unwavering commitment to his loved ones.

A memorial graveside service to honor and celebrate Allen's life will be held at a later date at Browns Mill Cemetery.
