Joni Leigh Morgan Garrison, 47, of Yantley, passed away on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa after bravely battling cancer. Born on March 20, 1978, in Meridian, Mississippi, she was the daughter of John Tee Morgan and Ruby Vivian Greer Morgan. Joni was a devoted family woman who cherished spoiling her loved ones. She delighted in making her family feel special through thoughtful surprises and delicious meals. In tough times, she was a true fighter who never lost hope. Her selflessness shone brightly as she continually focused on others. Above all, she was a wonderful mother to her children and will be profoundly missed.

She is survived by her children, Crystal Ruby Lee, Daniel Jackson Garrison, and Noah Preston Garrison; sister, Jamie Deana Morgan Roe and husband John; brother, Sam Justin Morgan; and a grandbaby on the way.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Everett Buddy Garrison, Jr. and parents, John Tee Morgan and Ruby Vivian Greer Morgan.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
