Allen Leonard Jones

It is with great sadness we announce that Allen Leonard Jones passed peacefully among close family April 10th, 2024, at Carberry Personal Care Home. Born in Weymouth Nova Scotia on September 24th, 1942, Allen was the 2nd born child to Arthur and Helen Jones. The family moved in 1956 to southern California  where Allen had many adventures growing up and working at an autobody shop in Pamona, California. In 1968 Allen met his wife Donnalee and they were married in 1969. Allen and Donnalee had their first daughter Lee-Allen  in 1971 and shortly after moved to the small community of Cypress River Manitoba. In 1976 they welcomed their second daughter Corrie. Allen loved fixing old vehicles and started Al’s Autobody in Cypress River in 1970s. After his shop closed, he continued with his vehicle restoration endeavors. When he was not out on the roads long hauling you could find him under a car or truck in his garage. He loved his family and friends and will be greatly missed for his notable smirky smile, tight hugs, and often witty sense of humor. Allen was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Helen Jones, sister Diane Boring, brothers-in-law Charles Feck and Shane Maynor, and son-in-law Walter Swaenepoel. Surviving family members who mourn his loss are his wife Donnalee Jones (nee Young), daughters Lee-Allen Swaenepoel, Corrie Wytinck (Steven), grandchildren Ariel Wilcox (Anthony), Aslinn Arason, Taylor Arason (Shaila), Austin Wytinck, Abby Wytinck, Maggie Wytinck, Gibson Wytinck, Hayden Wytinck, great grandchildren Bentlee, Emma, Madison, Daxson, Cade, Elaina, siblings Cathy Feck (Oregon), Sandra Maynor (California), Greg Jones (California), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and family members. Allen will be laid to rest April 13th, 2024, at Glencoe Cemetery in private interment. Those who wish, and in lieu of flowers, are encouraged to donate to the Carberry Personal Care Home Courtyard Grounds Project, 240 Toronto St., Carberry, MB R0K 0H0 in Allen’s name of remembrance.
