Soft spoken,  kind to others, loyal wife and  loving mother! Thats what I’ll remember about Mavis Garrett!

“Life and Death work hand in hand in this World! We don’t choose where or when we are born into existance! Nor do we choose our time of passing through this world! But we do get to choose how we live our life with the time we have and THOSE choices are what define us!”

I believe Mavis made excellant choices in her life! Anyone that was privileged to know her can tell you she made a difference in all of us!

May the Light you brought into this world carry over into the next, shinning even brighter than before!

Everytime i had the pleasure of spending time with this family, wheather it was at church, family events, just hanging at the house, on vacations, where ever........I was with FAMILY and never felt any other way!! I love this family with my whole heart! Each and every one of them are gifts from god and god definately has welcomed into his kingdom 2 of my favorite people in the world!! I will NEVER FORGET AS LONG AS I LIVE THE LOVE THEY HAVE SHOWN TO NOT ONLY ME BUT ALSO MY CHILDREN who are both now grown. I will continue to share the memories, and the love for family, friends and for most God that you taught me and shared with me over all of the years i have been included as part of this family!! My god wrap his arms around each of you during this time. I love you all!! Always have and Always will.. ....until we meet again!!💞

Aunt Mavis, I know you are at peace and with good company. Tell my dad and Steph that I miss them. Give my Uncle Bookey hugs. 
Love Tata

I have known Mavis for many years. Her and Bluford always treated me like family. They were both such special, wonderful Christian people and will be sorely missed by many. Praying for the family for strength. Love to you all

I have know Mavis for many years lived with her and Bluford when Pat and Janet were babies have always felt like part of the family she was such a wonderful Christian woman and caring mother she loved with all her heart and was loved very much by all who knew her now you are free Mavis spread your wings and fly high you will be missed by all that knew you. I Loved you Dearly Mom #2.

Dear Family, ,I was a childhood friend of Mavis, I lived down the street on Camden. I still have a valentine from her that my mother saved. Now I will treasure it. We stayed friends in Facebook. My prayers are with you all. Bonnie Ashby Murphy.

I am so saddened by the news of Mavis' passing. She was one of the most caring, loving, and kind people I have worked with and remained friends after retirement. I will miss seeing her and talking with her. You are with Buford again.

Mavis stole my heart! Truly one of the sweetest lady with even a bigger heart, That everyone loved! You always made me feel welcome! I'm  going to miss you Mavis! I will see you again one day!

Mavis was so special to me. I have many memories, however in the last couple of years it was getting to go to Derby Dinner, Chonda Pierce, Karen Kingsbury , and sharing books But most of all was game night at her house with Mavis and Susan and anyone else that was there and wanted to play. (Even though I lost the majority of the time lol).  Mexican Train , 10,000, and shaghi Rummy will never be the same. I'm going to miss you, your comfort and encouragement. Til we meet again...


Mavis and Bluford both was so loving and caring to me and Jason. She will be dearly missed. Prayers to all the family that time will heal your broken hearts.
