Allen is also survived by 10-great grandchildren and 2-great-great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by two brothers, Leonard Elmer Turnmire and Lyle Edwin Olson, and two sisters, Dorothy Evelyn Nendel and Patricia Louise Turnmire.
Allen was appointed as an elder within the Seventh Day Adventist church in Warroad, MN, where he served as a spiritual leader, guiding and caring for the congregation. 
Allen
will be remembered for his devotion to family, hard work, wisdom, spiritualism, and love for the community. Allen will be cremated, and burial plans at Wildwood Cemetery in Williams, MN, will be established at a later date.
