Our beautiful daughter, Isabella Margeurite Garrett sadly passed away on December 29, 2023. Bella was born on March 14, 2005, in Murfreesboro, TN and graduated from Siegel High School, summer class of 2022. She and her sister, Elizabeth, shared a very special bond. They were silly and happy when together and had fun playing with their dog, Charlie. Most recently, Bella loved her cat, Dove, as well.
In her early years, Bella attended Third Baptist Church where she gave herself to the Lord and followed in her mother Michelle’s footsteps as a dedicated Bible Driller. There, she also loved working with children and serving in VBS and other related church activities. She was always kind and loving to all but particularly senior adults.
Bella liked working and one of her favorite employments was in the nursing home field where she loved and grew very close to those she cared for and consequently aspired to pursue healthcare education and a career caring for others.
Bella was a sweet and considerate girl. She had close relationships with her grandmothers, Charla (Mamaw) and Patricia (Nana), that carried on throughout her short life.
Bella left behind loving mother, Michelle Lynn Dixon and stepfather Lane; father Matthew Allen Garrett; sister Elizabeth; great grandmother, Dorothy Ross; and many grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who will miss her very much.
Visitation will be held at Woodfin Memorial Chapel in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on Thursday, January 4, 2024 from 3:00-7:00 PM. The funeral service will also be at Woodfin Memorial Chapel on Friday, January 5, 2024 at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens.

I do not know Isabella. But I’ve seen her story on facebook. Losing a child is horrible and it’s something I’d never wish upon anyone. I too lost my child while giving birth- shortly after losing my little brother, I know there are no words I will take away your pain. I know that the look when somebody gives their condolences is a look that you will forever having your mind. I know that some days it’s exhausting hearing people give their condolences, but I know those are the words you need to hear. I know she is standing right next to you telling you that she is OK and she is free and she’s happy and healthy. I’ve heard as I said pieces of her story on Facebook and some of the details are very shocking to me as a medical professional. I hope that you guys had made peace with the recovery center. She was living in. I hope you guys know that she is free and smiling down on you guys every second of every day I would highly recommend you guys check out Roland comtois a medium from rhode island who often spends lots of times in Rhode Island, New York in Connecticut. He is one of the best medium/psychics I have ever seen. I saw him a week after I lost my son and my brother and I got messages from both of them. He has a Facebook page. I highly suggest you go look through the purple papers and see if she has sent you any messages. It is something I tell every patient I see who has lost a loved one that it might be beneficial for them most of all know that you guys did an amazing job raising your beautiful daughter. You guys supported her until the very end and you made her the strong, kind, compassionate woman she was.

I will always remember Bella as the sweetest preschooler. Having her in my class when she was almost two and again in pre-k was such a pleasure. She was so kind to everyone in her group and always very loving to me. Everyday at rest time when in the one year old class, I played lullaby music.”I can only imagine”, by Mercy Me. One day, I changed to another lullaby. Bella jumped up and ran to the door saying.”I don’t like that music”, as she covered her ears. I quickly changed it back to what she liked. As she got older, she was always so sweet to me.once inviting me to join her when I entered Panera Bread. She touched my heart and I am thankful.
There are no words adequate to give enough comfort to everyone who will miss her presence.

I remember working with Bella during Vacation Bible School. She was so joyful while she worked on the various crafts we did. She was kind. I remember her always willing to help others in her group. I asked her name and she said, "Oh, I'm Bella. You know my nana, Patricia don't you?" I could see she had a heart for people in general.

2010 I meet this bubbly 5 year old who loved coming to the barber collage with her dad and grandmother to visit . I had a red wig she loved wearing. As she grew I watched her grow into a lovely caring person. She loved hanging out with us in barber shop and Charla and I would do her hair . She was always so respectful and kind to me . I will miss her but will see her again I know God has her. Praying for all who knew and loved her to heal from this loss

I met Isabella a couple of months ago at work when she was just starting out and she was incredibly sweet and we had an amazing conversation. She was so easy to talk to. She was beautiful inside and out and seemed like an amazing person. I am truly sorry for your loss.
