Etta Jane Garrett
February 20, 1942 ~ June 12, 2023
Etta Jane Kinslow Garrett passed peacefully into her Heavenly Home on June 12, 2023, surrounded by her family. Jane was born on February 20, 1942 to the late William Garland Kinslow and Alma Mary Moran Kinslow. She was the sixth child of their union. She married William Royce Garrett in December 1965. She was preceded in death by her siblings: Kathryn Witcher (Grayson), Bernice Williams (Earl D), LeRoyce (Frances), Emery (Ramona) and Eldon Clay Kinslow. She leaves behind her husband, William Royce Garrett; her daughters Alma Jo Fox (Thomas), Robin Gilbert Martin and Candi Norris; one brother Lem (Linda) Kinslow as well as six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews as well as her faithful dogs Gigi and Shorty who stayed by her side.
Jane was the shoe department manager for Watson’s during its time in Glasgow. She was of the Baptist Faith and loved Southern gospel music. Her beautiful smile will be greatly missed by all that knew her. The family is very grateful and blessed to have had the Hosparus staff aiding our beloved mother’s wishes to remain in her home until her final day. She got her desire to stay home for the duration of her decline in health thanks to the excellent care of her daughter Candi and granddaughter Savannah.
Funeral will be 2:00 pm Friday, June 16, 2023 at the Hatcher & Saddler Funeral Home with burial in the Happy Valley Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm Thursday and after 9:00 Friday until time for services.
Everyone who knew Etta Jane loved her. She had an amazing smile and looked so happy.
She and I, being first cousins, had some fun times growing up and I will never forget her. My sincere sympathy goes to all the family in the loss of her. Love and prayers to you all. ???
