 J. ARMAH KARMO
1948 - 2021
The Karmo, Brown, and Jones families announce the earthly transition and eternal birth of our loved one Mr. J. Armah Karmo. This event occurred on Monday, October 18, 2021, at 8:08 p.m. in Marietta, Georgia, United States of America.
Born in Monrovia, Liberia, on Saturday, May 15, 1948, Armah was a gentle, loving, kind soul. His quick wit, easy laughter, and easy way made him a favorite of many. He was generous and courteous, and a lover of friends, family, plants, good food, and music. He was elegant. Mr. Karmo was also a successful entrepreneur in his business dealings in Liberia and undertook several business ventures in the United States. When Mr. Karmo escaped the wars in Liberia, what saved his life many times was the kindness he had shown to all including strangers.
Mourning his departure are Mrs. Pamela Karmo (his widow) and their daughter Destin Karmo; his former wife Mrs. Maie Fredericks Karmo, and their four children – Ms. Maimah Karmo, Mr. Armah Karmo, Mr. Walter Karmo, Mr. Kanda Karmo (and his wife Judith).
He is survived also by his grand-children, Noelle Karmo-Walsh, Elijah Karmo, Jada Karmo, and Koen Karmo; his siblings Mrs. Agnes Karmo Pierre (Counselor James E. Pierre), Mr. Kerston Jones (Esther), Madam Magdalene Jones, Madam Vashti Jones (James), Madam Joyce Jones Stanley, Madam Violet Jones Bruce, Madam Musu Karmo Garpoh, Mr. Gballay J. Karmo, and Madam Ida Mai Whisnant; his aunts Madam Estelle Brown and Madam Fasia Massaquoi; his uncle Mr. Fritz Massaquoi; his nieces and nephews, including Mr. Rodney K. Fredericks; several close relatives and a host of friends from his days at Cuttington College (now Cuttington University), St. Patrick’s High School, and various places where he worked.
He was predeceased by his parents Mrs. Rebecca Jones, the Hon. Magnus A. Jones, Mr. Massaquoi Karmo; four siblings Mrs. Sangeline Karmo Akporowho, Mr. Magnus Jones Jr, Mr. Willie Jones, and Mr. Onike Jones, and his grandson Kenton Karmo, among other relatives.
