Helen S. Gammon
Hellen S. Gammon, 86, passed away at her home in Chandler, Ariz. on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005. Born in Berwick, on July 12, 1919, she was married to William Burns Gammon on Aug. 31, 1941. They had three children: Martha S. Woods; Rebecca V. Strella; and Thomas D. Gammon.
The younges of nine siblings, Helen graduated from Berwick High School in 1937. As a young woman in Berwick, she helped support her family as an employee of the Wise Potato Chip company, and during World War II, she served in the Selective Service System. After the war, the family moved to Allentown where she was a longtime employee of the Call-Chronicle Newspapers as a teletypist, proofreader, photon operator, and lastly, an operator of one of the first computerized systems for setting newspaaper advertisements. After retirement, she happily followed her son, Tom, to Chandler Arizona.
Each summer, Helen drove her motor home between Chandler and Columbia County to remain close to her family and follow her passions for travel and genealogical research. During these travels, she fervently pursued her maternal Peterman and the Gammon family lines, searching out and visiting family member resting places, churches, county courthouses and record halls. She particularly enjoyed finding and spending time with new and well-known family members, as well as others with similar interests.
In addition to her three children, Helen is survived by five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and one sister, Evelyn Warburton of Lightstreet.
Services will be held in Columbia County at a future date, and she will be interred in St. Gabriel's Cemetery, Benton.
