Carmon Altman

Carmon Altman, 90, passed away peacefully at her Cincinnati home on November 12, 2024, surrounded by family. Carmon was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and wife whose independence, determination, candor, and humor touched everyone who knew her. Even in her later years when her health was failing, she brought joy to everyone she met. Born March 30, 1934, to Raymond V. and Ida Lou (Puckett) Condor in Commerce, TX. She was raised by her grandparents, Newton O., and Susan Emma (Warwick) Puckett in Leesburg, TX. She attended school in Pittsburg, TX and graduated from Pittsburg High School with the class of 1951. She married Robert E. Lee (Mack) McManigell in Jackson, MS on October 15, 1954, and enjoyed 58 years of marriage until Mack's passing on January 1, 2013. Carmon and Mack had five children, Robert L. (Gloria) McManigell of Decatur, IL, Lesa Michelle (Rich) Vale of Monterrey, CA, Nina Marie Reynolds of Decatur, IL, Rose Lynn (Jim) Harris of Venice, FL, and Michael S. (Glenna) McManigell who preceded her in death. After Mack's death, Carmon married Sam Altman in August of 2013 and moved to Ocala, FL, until Sam's death on April 5, 2023. Carmon relocated to Cincinnati, OH. Four grandchildren, David Qualls, Amy Shahandeh, Morgan Falor, and Holly Rogers survive Carmon along with thirteen great-grandchildren. Her granddaughter, Candice Brais, son-in-law, Don Reynolds and her special cousin, Gerald H. Fitzgerald, precede her in death. Carmon was a homemaker and enjoyed her computer as well as her dogs. She worked at General Electric in Decatur, IL and was co-owner of Mack's Motors before retiring and moving to Inverness, FL in 1981. She was an avid football fan with a passion for Texas teams, especially the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, although she grew to tolerate the Cincinnati Bengals. Carmon was also a dedicated member of Temple Beth Shalom in Ocala, FL. A private graveside service will take place at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens, 8740 S. Pine Ave. Ocala, FL on Thursday, December 19 at 10:30AM. Carmon's presence will be deeply missed, but the love, laughter, and lessons she shared will live forever in our hearts and time will never change that. May we find comfort knowing she is now at peace, surrounded by the love of our Lord. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association. https://www.heart.org
