Easter Garrett-Taylor

June 9, 1930 - March 20, 2016

Garrett-Taylor, Easter of Corwin went to be with Jesus on Sunday, March 20, 2016. Her favorite hobbies included gardening, cooking, playing games, shopping, and spending time with her church family at Corwin Pentecostal Church, where she was a faithful member for over 50 years. At 85 years old, she was proof that, even though you may have some wrinkles, you can still be stylin’ and profilin’. She was born to Jack and Flora Sharp on June 9, 1930. She married James C. Garrett on February 26, 1949. They were blessed with two children: Kenneth (Betty) Garrett and Glenda Sue (Dave) Lamb. She was married to James for 44 years, before he went to be with the Lord. On September 1, 1995, she married Columbus Taylor, Jr. and added to the family four stepdaughters and one stepson: Debra (Mike) Sheets, Teresa Bonardi, Sandra (Shayne) Lamb, Lisa (Mike) Parrish, and Mike (Kim) Taylor. She was such a doting sister to her only remaining sibling, Raymond (Barbara) Sharp, that she was like his second mother. She was “Nanny” to all and was loved greatly by her family. Her 17 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren were the sunshine in her life. Funeral services: 11 am Thursday, March 24, at the Corwin Pentecostal Church. Burial will be in Miami Cemetery, Corwin. The family will receive friends 5-9 pm Wednesday at the church. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home, Waynesville, is serving the family.
