Mildred Louise Tanner Allmond

Mrs. Mildred Louise Tanner Allmond, 94, of Asheboro, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on August 19th, 2023.
Mildred was born in Belmont, NC on May 2nd, 1929 to the late John Thomas Tanner and Mary Bertha Gilliam. Mildred was married to Silas Allmond on May 11th, 1946.  They began raising their family in Gastonia, NC and then moved to Asheboro, NC in 1968. They were married for 51 years and built a beautiful life together. 

During their marriage, Mildred worked as a homemaker. She took pride in taking care of her husband, children, and grandchildren, as well as her beautiful yard and flowers. 

Mildred was an animal lover, and there was never an animal that she did not try to pet or feed. She also loved to sing and dance, and was known to quite often break out into a song with her beautiful singing voice. In her spare time she was found tending to her flowers in her yard, listening to music, writing poetry, and reading scriptures.  She was also a devoted Christian and was a member of First Baptist Church of Asheboro, NC.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Silas Allmond, and her two sons, Steven Allmond and Eric Allmond, Sr.

Mildred is survived by her daughters, Sherry McMasters (Mitchell) of Ramseur, and Linda Graham of Siler City.  In addition, she is survived by her grandchildren, Eric Allmond II (Andrea), Zachary Graham, Nicholas Graham (Molly), Emily Soto (Joshua), and Crystal Burnett (Shane), Caleb McMasters, Jacob McMasters, daughter-in-law Doris Allmond, as well as 11 great-grandchildren.

The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, August 25th at Pugh Funeral Home of Asheboro.  Officiating is Pastor Steven Owen and Mark Hall. 

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the caring and compassionate care that was provided by the wonderful nursing staff at Randolph Hospital and Randolph Hospice House. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Humane Society of Randolph County, PO Box 4384 Asheboro, NC 27204.
