Garnett loved spending time with her family and watching them all grow and thrive. She was an avid West Virginia Mountaineer fan her entire life. She loved to fish, travel, play Bridge and Pinnacle, dance with her husband, and make people laugh. She was an excellent southern cook. Our mom was a woman of grace and beauty was deeply loved. She will be sorely missed by all of us.
