Nannie Gilman was born on December 30, 1919 and passed away on June 5, 2017 at 4 PM at Birmingham Green Nursing Home, Manassas, VA, following a brief illness.
She was preceded in death by Mother Elle Gilman; Father Hei Gilman; Grandfather Big Jim Gilman, Brothers Ray, Basil, Archie, Little Hei, Jim and Bear; Sister and Brother-in-Law Vickie and Johnny Parsons; Sister-in-Law Grace Gilman, Nephew Donald Ray Gilman and Niece Linda Gilman.
Nannie is survived by her only Son, Keather Darrell Gillman and his wife Janet Ann Gillman, who reside in Manassas, VA; Sisters Peggy Stratton and Bertha Reed who live in St. Albans, WV; Sister in Law, Joyce Gilman who lives in Winchester, Ky, Niece Kathy Morlan, who lives in Parkersburg, WV; Nephew William R. Reed, who lives in St. Albans, WV, and Niece Jeannie Parsons who lives in Chesapeake, VA.
During World War II, Nannie worked at the Broom Handle Factory in Williamson, WV. Next she worked at Maynard’s Machine Shop in Williamson, WV. for 30 years. After she retired, she bought a house in St. Albans, WV to live close to her 2 sisters, Peggy Stratton and Bertha Reed. She took care of other people younger than herself who were in need of companionship and meals.
My wife Janet and I will greatly miss her smile, loving manner and sense of humor. Nannie raised and supported me with 18 years of hard work, doing without much for herself, and added a lot of love and light to everyone who came in contact with her. Both Staff & Residents at Birmingham Green were very fond of Nannie because she had a smile for everyone.
Nannie/Mom, rest in peace and may GOD take you into His arms.
Love,
Darrell & Janet
