Cornelius Garrison Obituary

Cornelius Garrison Jr. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, at the age of 77. Cornelius was born to the late Cornelius Sr. and Viola Garrison in New Orleans, La. on July 9, 1946. Cornelius was educated in the Orleans Parish School System where he attended Craig Elementary School and Joseph S. Clark High School. He was employed at Kaiser Alumni and New Orleans Tour Bus Service for many years. Although he was a man that kept to himself, he loved his family beyond words and lived life to the fullest. Cornelius leaves to cherish his memories his daughter, Andrea Garrison-Robertson (Charles), five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and a host of family and friends. Cornelius is preceded in death by one son, Cornelius "Poonie" Garrison. Out of respect for Cornelius and to honor his request, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
