Albert Burnell Vincent

Albert Burnell Vincent, 92, of Carlyss, passed away on April 12, 2026, at the Southwest Louisiana Veterans Home in Jennings, LA. Albert was born on January 18, 1934, in Johnson Bayou, LA, to Alcide and Irene Vincent. He retired at the age of 55 from Cit-Con after working there for 34 years. Albert served his country in the United States Army as PFC from March 1954 to March 1956. He was an expert carpenter and was very meticulous of his work. His favorite saying was, “You measure three times but only cut once.” Albert’s favorite past time was spoiling his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Those left to cherish his memory are his daughter, Kelli Fenetz and husband, Tony; two grandchildren, Cody Fenetz and wife, Niki and Nicole Mays and husband, Jared; six great grandchildren, Conner, Dixie, Jackson, Dani, Clare and Elizabeth; and one sister, Betty Goddard of Deweyville, TX.
