Aberdeen— Almon Cassie O’Neal Thompson, 83, passed away peacefully at her residence, surrounded by her loved ones, on Saturday, July 18, 2020. She was born on July 22, 1936 in Wayne County, Mississippi, to the late Bilbo and Virley O’Neal.

Almon was a wonderful, loving mother and grandmother.

Almon worked for several years as a seamstress in the garment industry. In her later years, she was a certified nursing assistant at Beverly Nursing Home, where she retired. Almon loved taking trips with her friends Ruth Miller and Joan Tribble. She enjoyed family reunions and spending time with her family. In her free time, she liked playing dominoes and card games.

Almon was a loving matriarch to her family. She created so many wonderful memories with her loved ones throughout her life. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
