Born in Indianapolis to John and Virginia Gammon, Marti embraced a world brimming with energy and connection.

Music stirred her soul as she sang alongside her twin sister, while dancing brought laughter into gatherings. She thrived on friendly competitions at the bowling alley, refreshing swims, and lively sessions of cards or board games. Animals held a tender spot in her heart, particularly dogs and horses, and she delighted in baking treats and crafting alongside her inseparable sibling. Even after stepping back from formal work, Marti's compassion shone through her home-based childcare venture with Mary, where she poured care into young lives.
In her later years, Marti channeled her natural affinity for children into a heartfelt childcare business run from her home alongside her twin sister Mary, providing a safe and loving environment that extended her nurturing spirit well into retirement.
