Winnifred "Winnie" Garrett Obituary
As the family grew to include Preston, Kim and Susan, she shuffled her Airforce military family around the US and England to finally settle in Griffin, GA. Winnie was an active member of the VFW auxiliary, Post 5448 where her favorite past time was shooting darts and supporting any activity hosted by the VFW. She attended the VFW regularly until a few weeks before her passing. Winnie enjoyed knitting, reading adventure and suspense novels, watching Judge Judy/Joe Brown and was learning to use the computer and even Facebook. Although Winnie spent most of her life in the United States, her heart was back home in England. Her family will fulfill her wish to spread some of her ashes on the moors and at the grave of her parents in Darwen.
Winnie is survived by her children, Preston Garrett of Griffin, GA; Kim and Susan Garrett of McDonough, GA; brother Les Bury of Melton Mowbray, England, grandchildren Taylor and Andrew Garrett and great granddaughter Ava Garrett. She is preceded in death by husband Jack Garrett, Grandson Garrett Rodriguez, sisters Joan Naughton and Margaret Walsh and brother John.
Please join us for a remembrance of Winnie's life at Haisten McCullough Funeral Home, 1155 Everee Inn Rd., Griffin, GA on August 5th. Visitation begins at 1:00 and service to follow at 2:00.

To my cousins, my deepest condolescences. When I was about 15 years old, Winnie taught me how to knit and purl. Shortly, as a teenager with other things on my mind, I put needles and yarn away. After I retired from work in 2010, I soon picked the needles up again. Winnie's teaching was so good, I remembered how to knit & purl. I knit frequently, belong to several knit groups. Winnie is often in my thoughts during these times.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
