Alonzo Derrick Mundy's Obituary
Alonzo (“Lonnie”) Derrick Mundy, 90, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 22, 2024 in Eustis, FL due to complications from dementia. Born on September 24, 1933 in Akron, OH to the late Herbert P. and Mattie L. Mundy, Lonnie attended Kent State University and served almost two years as a Specialist in the United States Army. He relocated to Washington, DC where he worked for the United States Postal Service and then dedicated close to 35 years of his career to General Electric. While living in Reston, VA, Lonnie held various positions in the appliance division which led to serving as a regional sales manager in the Washington, DC metro area before his retirement. Lonnie relocated to The Villages, FL and continued spending time with his family and friends and pursuing his passions of thoroughbred horseracing, traveling, listening to jazz music, and watching sports including his beloved Cleveland Browns. Lonnie was known as a gentleman who always had a kind word, a caring disposition, and a great laugh.
In addition to his parents, Lonnie was preceded in death by his brothers, H. Ralph, R. Kenneth, and Autry. He is survived by three children with his deceased wife, Sylvia P. Mundy – daughter Traci Mundy Jenkins (James), son Scott F. Mundy, and daughter Jill Pemberton (Dennis). Lonnie was a loving father and a devoted “Poppi” to three cherished granddaughters, Nina Pemberton, Jaelyn Jenkins, and Natalie Pemberton. Until his death, Lonnie lived happily in Florida with his loving partner and childhood friend, Shirley Turner McAlway. He also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends to cherish his memory.
