Gammy worked to develop recipes to grow her business. She also earned the distinction of Pottsville’s Businesswoman of the year in the 1940’s. In the late 1940’s, the business was passed to her children: BJ (Big Jim) Mootz, Ginny Gallagher, and Georgine Buckley. The Pottsville store was later operated by Georgine’s son, Ned Buckley. Unfortunately, Mootz Candies in Pottsville closed in 2010 due to structural damage caused by a nearby construction project.
