Mary E. (Fife)
(Witham) Gammon
EPSOM - Mary E. (Fife)
(Witham) Gammon, 97, passed away at her home on Thursday, June 2,
2016.
She was born in Epsom, on November 25,
1918 to Fred and Ernestine (Montminy) Fife, where she grew up and
attended school. She began her career as one of the first of four
women to work at Sprague Electric, and then went on to serve most of
her working years employed with the State of NH as an Office Manager
for the Highway Department and the Department of Records and
Archives, from which she retired.
She wed her first husband, Ned Witham in
1935 and was married to him until his passing in 1971. Together they
had her only child, Shirley (Witham) Williams born in 1936, who
passed well before her time in 2012. Mary wed her second husband,
Francis Gammon in 1973, and became a widow again in 1978.
She most enjoyed entertaining people
whether it be with her daughter, Shirley, as part of a singing
Vaudeville act; playing the guitar, piano and accordion; or simply
by telling inappropriate stories and jokes to her family and
friends. Other interests included caring for her beloved pets,
summer activities at Lucas Pond and Northwood Lake, puzzles and
beating her grandchildren at cards and board games.
Even through her last moments she kept her
strength, wit, young-spirited heart and mind and most of all the
love for her family and friends. She leaves behind her two
granddaughters, Liane “Tina” Alosa of Allenstown and Gina Alosa of
Pittsfield; three great grandchildren, Sara Alosa Tremaine and her
husband, Scott of Concord, Courtney Perkins of Providence, RI and
