Martha Rae Almack

She was born on March 3, 1938, in Mount Vernon to the late Albert Paul and Catherine (Carpenter) Rine. After graduating Mount Vernon High School in 1956, she married Charles C. Almack on November 4, 1956. Together they owned and operated C & M Collectables on Second Street for 30 years. She worked for AEP, Shaw Barton and as a teller for Cambridge Savings and Loan.

Martha enjoyed going to flea markets where she met many friends over the years. She liked to travel, sew, do crossword puzzles and put puzzles together. Martha took great care of her family; she loved spending time with them, especially her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her loving dog Fritz who passed away several years ago. Martha and her daughter volunteer at Camping Echoing Hills. She was a compassionate, caring, strong minded, loving person and will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Along with her husband Charles, of 64 years, Martha is survived by her two children, Kim (Joe) Vonasek of Rochester, NY and Todd (Linda) Almack of Westerville; four grandchildren, Paul (Lisa Brotz) Vonasek, Lori (Shaun) VanDyke, Amy Almack and Andrea Snyder and two great-grandchildren, Hazel Rose and Ambrose Leo.
