It is with heavy hearts we inform you of the passing of our mother, Wilma Faye Garrett "Granny", from this earth and into her heavenly home on June 14, 2025.

Her grandchildren were her most prized possession in her life time. Wilma was a mother and grandmother of unwavering love and a pillar of strength to all of her family and friends. To know her meant you were loved unconditionally and always had a safe loving place to call home where there was always a hot yummy meal prepared and a place to rest.
