Martha Gammons Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Woodbine Funeral Home - Hickory Chapel on Aug. 31, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Martha Gammons, lovingly known to all as "Nanny," was a rare Nashville native, born July 2, 1936. She was called home on August 27, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.

A faithful member of Cane Ridge Cumberland Presbyterian Church since the early 1990s, Nanny was a fixture in the congregation and had her very own pew where she worshiped for decades. Her unwavering faith, warmth, and kindness touched all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harold. Nanny's memories will be cherished by her daughter Teresa, grandson Brandon, granddaughter Brittany, and a host of dear friends who were blessed to share in her life.

Nanny will be remembered for her love of family, her steadfast faith, and her gentle, stubborn spirit.

Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Greg Dunn on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (visitation 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) at Woodbine Funeral Home Hickory Chapel. Interment Woodlawn Cemetery. Family and friends will serve as Pallbearers.
