Garnette was born on January 21, 1941, in Dyke, VA. She graduated from William Monroe High School in Stanardsville, VA. She started her career at UVA's Payroll Department and worked there until she went to work for the Gynecological Oncology Department as the secretary.

She retired from UVA in 2006 and then became a full-time Nana/Grandma, visiting and driving her grandkids around wherever they needed to go. She was a lifelong member and taught Sunday School at Spring Hill Baptist Church in Ruckersville for over 20 years and enjoyed every single minute of it. She made a huge impact on a lot of people and was well-loved!
