She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who always put her family first. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, William H. Gammon.
She is survived by two sons, Larry Gammon and his longtime companion, Patricia Stavolone, of Manchester, N.H., and Jerry Gammon and wife, Gail of Hampton.

The family is very grateful for the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff of the Piedmont Unit at The Gardens of Warwick Forest, who gave her so much care and love in her final year of life.
The family will receive friends at Weymouth Funeral Home in Newport News from 2 to 2:45 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010, followed immediately by a graveside service starting at 3 p.m. at Peninsula Memorial Park.

Dear Larry and Jerry, We have never met, but my daughters, Paige and Madison, grew quite fond of your mother during our frequent visits to The Gardens. We always looked forward to our chats with Miss Minnie. She will be missed, but we are so grateful to know that we will see her again in heaven someday.

Jerry, I am so glad you mother had you to look after her for so long. She always spoke so glowingly of you. The last time I saw her was at Mom's funeral (Myrtle North) and she looked so good. May God bless you for being such a good son.
