Rachel Jane Armondi

Rachel Jane Armondi, age 76, of Asheboro, NC passed away peacefully on February 2nd, 2025 at Randolph Hospice House in Asheboro, NC.

Rachel was born on May 8th, 1948 in Caldwell County to the late Coy R. Smith and Selma F. Laws. She was a graduate of Hudson High School. Rachel was a devoted wife of 45 years, and a loving Mother and Grandmother. 

She worked at Alderman Company in High Point, NC for 24 years before retiring in 2015 where she made many friends by welcoming them in with a warm smile and a friendly greeting. 

In her earlier years she loved to garden, dance and go fishing with her husband and family. A woman of many affectionate names such as Mama, Granny, Maw-Maw, and Honey-Face. Rachel was the kind of woman who would leave a lasting impression on anyone she met. A woman who radiated warmth, love, and comfort to anyone around her. Rachel was a God-loving woman who was unapologetically herself in a way that inspired others to be brave enough to live with their hearts on their sleeves and to always tell those who meant the most to them how much they are loved, every single day. Rachel showed the world what it meant to love unconditionally and passed on a legacy of leaving the world a kinder and more loving place despite what cards you may have been dealt, that will live on through her husband, children and grandchildren.  

Rachel is survived by her loving Husband, Alan L. Armondi of the home; Sons Jerry R Smith of Winston-Salem and Jason L. Smith (Amy) of Asheboro; Daughter Melissa A. Armondi (Bruce) of Randleman; Grandsons Jordan Smith, Austin Smith, and Michael Diaz; Sisters Mickey Shipley and Gladys Watson and brother Bill Smith (Linda); several nieces and nephews, and many more friends and family members that have a special place for her in their hearts.  

Her presence will be deeply missed by all, but she will never be forgotten, and the love and lessons that she imparted during her time on this Earth will continue to live on in the hearts of those that ever had the pleasure of knowing our "Rachel Jane".  

The family will receive friends from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Friday, February 7th, 2025, at Pugh Funeral Home in Randleman. Service will follow immediately after where words of prayer and remembrance will be held.  

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Randolph Hospice House, 416 Vision Dr., Asheboro, N.C, 27203 

Pugh Funeral Home is honored to serve the Armondi family.
