Mary E. ("Betty" George) Ammon, 95, was called home to our Lord on February 2, 2018, at Florida Hospital Altamonte Springs, after a short illness. Mrs. Ammon was born in Donora, PA on February 7, 1922, to Harry and Mary George, and graduated from Donora High School, along with Stan "the Man" Musial. She lived for 27 years in Deland, FL with her husband, Jack, a United Methodist Church minister, who died in 2012. The couple enjoyed nearly 70 years of marriage. Mrs. Ammon moved to the Longwood, FL, home of her son and daughter-in-law (Jay and Diane Ammon) after her husband's death and then to her retirement home at Oakmonte Village in Lake Mary, FL. Mrs. Ammon supported her husband's ministry for over 36 years at churches in Clarksburg, Germantown, Lewisburg and Dickerson, MD, and Cochranton, Erie, Freeport and Tarentum, PA. She was a loving, kind and compassionate person who lived simply and honestly and who always put her family first. Mrs. Ammon was a bookkeeper in the years before and after her child-raising days. Her last job was with Bankers Lithographing in Blawnox, PA. She will be missed immensely. Along with her husband, Betty's sister, Jean (George) Toth, brothers David George and Harry George, and two grand-daughters, Mary Ammon and Christina Ammon, preceded her in death.
