Linda M. (Wieser) Gammon of Santa Fe, NM, passed away peacefully at home on March 20, 2023. A Celebration of Life will be held on April 1, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. at Santa Fe Memorial Gardens with a reception immediately following at Keller Williams.

Linda will be remembered by everyone for her friendliness, warmth, laughter, dry wit, her hard work in whatever endeavor she chose, and her commitment to making everyone in her circle comfortable, whether clients, close friends, cherished nieces and nephews, or total strangers.

With her red hair and open smile, she was recognizable in any setting. Linda was the calming spirit at every gathering, punctuating moments with her signature laugh and “Hey Kiddo, how’s it going?”

Linda was born November 21, 1953, in Dubuque, IA to Wilfred and Dorothy (McGovern) Wieser. She graduated from Dubuque Senior High School in 1972. She worked at John Deere-Dubuque in Experimental Engineering until 1979, when she moved to Dallas, TX. She married Joe Gammon on October 25, 1986. They made their home in Dallas until moving to Santa Fe in 1992.

Linda and Joe created Red Dog Construction and built custom homes in the area, including rastra construction before it became commonplace. Linda served as a past President of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association and remained active in the organization until her death.

Linda became a Realtor in 2008, and was part of the Keller Williams Santa Fe family. She was an early investor in KW and served on the KW Associate Leadership Council for 8 years. She was an active member of SFAR, serving on multiple committees including Community Services, Government Affairs, and the MLS Committee.

She was chair of the KW Culture Committee for 4 years, selflessly giving her time to work with local charities like the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico, Adelante, and Bienvenidos. Linda sold hundreds of homes and became a lifelong friend to her clients, simply because she cared for the people she served and believed in building relationships at every opportunity.

Linda enjoyed playing golf and on a sunny day could be found on the course at Marty Sanchez. She was the Realtor with an open-door policy so that she was available to help new brokers or to share friendly conversation with colleagues.

She and Joe had no children, but in her own words, were “THAT aunt and uncle” for their nieces and nephews. You’d often meet a niece or nephew each summer when Joe and Linda opened their home and hearts to the kids in their extended family.

Survivors include her husband Joe, her siblings Sue (Lonnie) Cox, Deb (Rick) Henry, Jan (Dennis) Dodson, Jeff (Joan) Wieser, Sally Wieser, Jay (Carla) Wieser, and Scott Wieser, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, parents-in-law, Jeff and Toni Gammon, her brother Jerry, and her nephew Jed. She was also preceded in death by her real estate partner and great friend, Judy Camp.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Scott Herbert and Nexus Health Santa Fe for their care and compassion.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to Adalante, Cancer Foundation for New Mexico, SF Punch out Parkinsons, or your favorite local charity.
