Margaret E. AllmonMargaret E. Allmon, a longtime resident of Warsaw, passed away at home on Sunday, Jan. 16, 2022. She was 95 years old and was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing.
Born in Toronto, Ohio, on July 23, 1926, Margaret was one of two children born to John and Orpha Mae Lewis Martin. She spent her formative years in Ohio and was a 1944 graduate of David Anderson High School in Lisbon. It was there that she was married to Herbert A. Allmon on Oct. 11, 1946; the pair shared more than more than 69 years together before his passing on Jan. 25, 2016.
Herb and Margaret moved to the Warsaw community in 1967. Together, they owned and operated Allmon Upholstery, working side-by-side for more than 40 years; this was in addition to her role at Kimble Glass where she worked for more than 30 years. The roles in which she took the greatest pride were as a committed wife, a devoted mother and as a proud grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. She loved her family dearly and was never happier than when all were together.
She enjoyed knitting, crochet, sewing and reading. She was a caring, selfless and loving person who rarely knew a stranger. This was evident to all who met her but especially to members and visitors of Dutchtown Brethren Church where Herb and Margaret attended for many, many years.
In addition to her husband, Herb, Margaret was preceded in passing by two daughters: Alice Mae Allmon and Nancy McCartney; son, Daniel Allmon; great-grandson, Brody Fish; and brother, Horace Martin. She is survived by two daughters: Jane Swinehart, of Warsaw; and Kathy Marvel, of Mishawaka; son, Wayne (Jocy) Allmon, of Decatur; 24 grandchildren; 53 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren; and daughter-in-law, Pannee “Urai” Allmon, of Thailand.
