Mary Garrison

Knowing Mary was a great pleasure! She always had a big smile and welcomed me with a hug every time I seen her. I remember traveling from Arkansas back to Washington state back in the late 80s when I was in the military and stopped by to see the Garrison clan in Texas and although I'd only planned on staying a few hours, Mary wouldn't hear of it. she and Doyle had me stay for dinner and then gave me a bed for the night. Before I left out the next day, they gave me a tent to sleep in so I wouldn't be sleeping in the elements beside my motorcycle on the trip back. I will miss her as I do Doyle, some of the greatest people I ever had the pleasure of knowing.

As a kid, I always loved going to Aunt Mary and Uncle Doyle's house. She was always so full of kindness and laughter. A beautiful person, inside and out. She introduced me and Jamie at the Vandervoort dance, so I have her to thank for so many of my most loved people! I will forever cherish the memories I have of her.

No words can express her and what she means to me and the family. Precious soul. She will be forever missed and adored.
