The Arunachal Press Club (APC) and the Arunachal Pradesh Union of Working Journalists (APUWJ) have deeply mourned the demise of Gamde Ete Gamlin, mother of former APC president and Eastern Sentinel proprietor Jarpum Gamlin.
Born on 1 January, 1938, in Bene village in West Siang district to late Kigam Ete and late Mima Nomuk Ete, Gamde Ete Gamlin was married to Sokjar Gamlin in 1952.

In their condolence message, the APC and the APUWJ said, “She will be remembered as a doting grandmother and great-grandmother, a loving and caring mother, and a disciplinarian who almost single-handedly raised her own children as well as nephews, nieces and children of friends and acquaintances.”
They further noted that her demise has left “a void not only in her family but also among all those who drew strength and guidance from her wisdom and resilience.”
“She embodied dignity, courage, and compassion in equal measure. Her unwavering support to her family and community will be cherished as her enduring legacy,” the joint statement said.

She was not only the matriarch of a distinguished family – including former minister Jarkar Gamlin, former chief minister late Jarbom Gamlin, Maj Gen Jarken Gamlin, Jarjum Gamlin Ete, Jarsa Gamlin, Jarter Gamlin Ronya, and Jarpum Gamlin – but also a source of strength, guidance, and inspiration to all who knew her,” the guild stated in a condolence message.
Remembered as a doting grandmother and great-grandmother, a loving and caring mother, and a disciplinarian who almost single-handedly raised her children as well as many others, her legacy of resilience, love and service will remain cherished forever, it said.
