Alma Pearl “Sandy” Blackmon Gillotte, 82, of Columbia, died Wednesday, January 30, 2008, after a long illness. Mrs.Gillotte was born on February 1, 1925, in Carolene, N.C., and was the middle of nine children of the late Carl Johnson Blackmon and Alma Pearl Hatfield Blackmon. She was a current member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Wheat Street, and a former member of Chappells Baptist Church in Chappells, SC.
Sandy Gillotte graduated from Chappells High School in 1942, and turned down an academic scholarship in order to support herself and her family financially. While working in Orangeburg during World War II, she met and later married Robert Paul Gillotte, an airman serving in the French Air Force as an instructor for aspiring pilots at the Hawthorne School of Aeronautics in Orangeburg, S.C. Following the war, the couple moved to Milwaukee, WI, where Mr. Gillotte worked for the Allis-Chalmers Export Service Department.
In 1953, Sandy accompanied her newly naturalized husband to his hometown of Oran, Algeria, so that they could care for his ailing father and take over the family Office Supply business. The family departed Algeria and returned to America in 1959, following an escalation in fighting during that country's civil war. The family temporarily settled in Chappells, SC, until Mr. Gillotte could firmly establish his entrepreneurial dream in Columbia, the Robert P. Gillotte, Co., Inc. From the company’s inception to its ultimate sale to Atlantic Envelope, a division of National Service Industries, Sandy Gillotte served as an officer of the company and personal secretary to her husband, using her outstanding bi-lingual and secretarial skills in advancement of the company’s goals. Her tireless devotion to her husband throughout 60 years of marriage greatly contributed to his success and that of the company and remains one of her greatest legacies.
Aside from these accomplishments, however, Sandy Gillotte’s greatest contribution in this life as been as a devoted mother and grandmother. To the three children and seven grandchildren she leaves behind, she has been the embodiment of unconditional love, wisdom, and nurturing, and she will forever remain their light and inspiration.
