Jane Garriott Obituary
Virginia Beach - Jane Harrison Garriott, 70, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, passed away on February 27, 2017, after an unexpected brain aneurysm.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William Henry Harrison, Jr., and Virginia Hey Harrison. Survivors include her beloved husband of 47 years, Micheal Huntley Garriott; her children, Elizabeth Garriott Hearle and Micheal Huntley Garriott, Jr.; her brother, William Henry Harrison, III; and many other family members and friends. The light of her life were her six grandchildren: Alexa, John and Hudson Hearle and Taylor, Jesse and Morgan Garriott.
Jane graduated from Princess Anne High School and Mary Washington College. After earning a master's degree, she spent almost 30 years in education, finishing her career at Old Donation Center for the Gifted and Talented as a teacher and a gifted testing specialist. She believed passionately in the importance of education and passed that love of learning on to her children and grandchildren. She treasured her multitude of friends in her neighborhood, her bridge groups, her book clubs, and her church.

I will never forget her gracious and generous spirit. I was blessed to work with her, to learn from her, and to laugh with her. One of my favorite "Jane stories" was at her retirement. our principal applauded her timely writing of thank you notes. She stepped from the room only to return within seconds waving Jane's thank you for the remembrance she had been given. "See what did I tell you? You can never get ahead of Jane!" Now it is time for me to say thank you for sharing her with us.
Honoring a life well lived with dignity, strength, intelligence, and caring.
