Tommie Poindexter Gambill

Mrs. Tommie Ann Poindexter Gambill, age 89 of Winston-Salem passed away October 11, 2025 at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice House. Born on October 24, 1935 in Enid, Oklahoma, she was the daughter of the late Pleasant Henderson Poindexter, Jr. and Alta Kate McDaniel Poindexter. After moving to Winston-Salem as a young child, her family joined Calvary Moravian Church. Later in life, she was a member of Admore Moravian Church. Tommie devoted much of her life in service to the Lord. She was an active member of the Women's Fellowship, served on the Provincial Women's Board, led many Bible studies and accompanied her husband on mission trips both at home and abroad. Tommie was known for her gift of hospitality. It wasn't unusual to find visitors from around the globe staying in her home. During the Christmas season, each year hundreds enjoyed her delicious culinary delights as they attended Open House at the Gambills to marvel at the family's ever-growing Putz depicting villages from different time periods and cultures celebrating the birth of Christ.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Albert "Al" Gambill, granddaughter Andrea Stoltz, and sister Lahoma Poindexter Gray. Surviving are her three daughters, Kathy (Doug) Stoltz of Winston-Salem, Kim (Tommy) Reavis of East Bend and Kelly (Rodney) Norman of King. Additional survivors include seven grandchildren, T.J. Reavis, Tessie Stoltz, Kristin (Dusty) Baker, Katie (Zack) Gough, Bethany Stoltz, Miranda Hundley and Nate Hundley plus seven great grandchildren, Destiny Reavis, Andrew Baker, Kate Gough, Weston Baker, Redding Stoltz Lee, Trey Reavis, and Kayce Lusk as well as beloved nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at New Philadelphia Moravian Church in Winston-Salem at 1:00 p.m. on October 17, 2025. The family will receive friends at the church following the service. A private graveside committal will be held at a later date.
