Barbara "Granny Barb" Berry Garrison, a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on October 20, 2025.

Barb devoted her life to Jesus and loved to serve Him in all that she did. She was a faithful member of her church and spent many years teaching Sunday school, sharing God's word and touching countless lives.

She worked for many years as an upholsterer, taking great pride in her craft and bringing new life to everything she touched. When she wasn't working, she loved being outdoors in her garden, planting every flower she could find and filling her yard with color and beauty.

She also enjoyed her shopping trips to Buc-ee's and never missed a chance to spoil her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her greatest joy in life was her family, and she made sure each of them always felt loved and cared for.

Barbara is survived by her sons, Anthony and Kenny; her grandchildren, Samantha, Daniel, and Gabe; and her great-grandchildren, Lincoln, Weston, Canton, Hudson, and Dawson.

Barbara was preceded in death by her grandparents; her parents, Virgil and Cleo Berry; and her brother.

Granny Barb's strength, faith, and love will be forever missed but always remembered by all who were blessed to know her.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday October 24, 2025 at 4:00 PM. With a vistation being held 2 hours prior to the service from 2:00-4:00 PM.
