--Sammy was a daughter of Samuel Wilson Brown & wife Margaret Irene Bingham. She was raised in the Steele Creek community and graduated from Berryhill High School.
--She married Robert "Bob" Gatewood on February 15, 1958. She was working at Jefferson Standard Life Insurance when they married. They lived in Charlotte until Bob was transferred to the Baltimore office. At that time there was no opening at Jefferson Standard for "Sammy", so she found employment with Mass Mutual. Soon afterwards, "Sammy" received a call from Jefferson Standard asking her to return to work for them.
This pattern repeated itself on several occasions including when Bob was later transferred to Los Angeles, California. When not working for Jefferson Standard, "Sammy" held a number of interesting jobs. After Bob retired, the couple moved to Port Charlotte, Florida where "Sammy" continued working as a secretary for the First Presbyterian Church. Then, in 2003 they returned to Charlotte, where both "Sammy" and Bob took on a variety of activities at their new home in Sharon Towers.
--She and Bob shared a love of attending classes at local universities, enjoying theatre performances, studying genealogy and most off all traveling.
