Gammell, Louise Clyde         
Louise Clyde Gammell 1924 ~ 2005 Louise Clyde Gammell passed away August 12,
2005 from natural causes. I was born at home October 8, 1924 in Springville,
Utah, a daughter of Wilford W. and Jennie Palfreyman Clyde. I attended school
in Springville, graduating from Springville High School in 1942. I was
interested in music and played the piano for school programs beginning in
third grade. While in junior high, I learned to play the accordion and
entertained for numerous clubs and other programs. I also played the pipe
organ for church services and the piano for high school musicals and choruses.
I continued to study piano at the University of Utah. I graduated from the U
of U with a BS degree in Business Management and played Rachmaninoff s
Concerto in B# Minor with the university orchestra at the graduation
ceremonies. I was a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority. I married my college
sweetheart, Blake Hansen Gammell, July 1, 1946 in the Logan Temple and had a
beautiful garden wedding at my parent's home. We moved to Los Angeles,
California while my husband attended dental school at the University of
Southern California. In 1947, we moved back to Springville where my husband
began his dental practice. During our marriage, five children were born. With
much heartache, our second son, Bill, was afflicted with Ewing Sarcoma (bone
cancer). Blake and I sought the best care and treatment all over the United
States. Bill passed away September 6, 1967 after 81/2 years of our care. On
March 7, 1968, a son, John, was born severely mentally handicapped. I devoted
a great deal of time and therapy to John. I loved parties and loved to get
dressed up. I loved to entertain family and friends in my home. I loved my
parents, brothers, and sisters and always enjoyed family get-togethers. I had
many close friends all through my life, still getting together with high
school friends. I had a sense of humor and always loved to hear and tell a
good story. I have a great testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and was a
faithful organist for all organizations of the Church and also a teacher. I
loved my visiting teaching calling for many years and became good friends with
all I visited. I loved my family dearly. Louise was a devoted mother and wife
to her husband and children. Her husband and children always came first in her
life so she had little time left for music and community affairs. She is

Ray (Lori) Gammell of Mapleton, UT; a son, John Scott Gammell of Springville,
