Carmell was a native of Alabaster, Alabama. She graduated from Banks High School. She worked12 years as a Mortgage Lender. Carmell enjoyed her family, friends, her German Shepherds, dancing, parties, the lake, and the occasional extra dirty martini with extra olives.
Carmell was a lively, spirited woman with the biggest heart, widest smile, and most infectious laugh! If you ever met her, you would remember her. She never met a stranger and accepted everyone. She loved others with more affection than humanly possible. She had many career accomplishments, but she wouldn't want others to focus on those. Her husband, children, and grandchildren were her life. They were her greatest accomplishments, and she’d tell you often. May her memory serve as an ever-present reminder to love greatly, laugh often, and embrace those around you.
Visitation is scheduled for Saturday, March 23, 2019 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the Third Presbyterian Church, 617 22nd Street South, Birmingham, AL, to be followed by funeral services at 11:00 am. Interment will be held at Forest Crest Cemetery immediately following services.
