Henry Thomas Garrison

Born on April 10, 1935 Henry was a son of the late Andrew George and Celia Keyton Garrison. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Marie Hamacher; brothers, Andy Garrison Jr., Leonard Garrison, Herbert Garrison, and James Garrison; as well as his grandmother, Elizabeth Keyton.

Henry is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 54 years, Juanita Garrison; his daughter, Teresa Frazier and her husband, David of Crozet; his sons, Thomas “Tony” Garrison and his wife, Karen of Keswick and Norman Garrison of Crozet; sisters, Lucille Shifflett of White Hall and Helen Garrison of Crozet; and his grandchildren, Christina “Tina” Staton and her husband, Alan, Jason Frazier and his wife, Brittany, Amanda Lawhorne and her husband, Matt, and Shawn Garrison and his wife, Ashley; and great-children, Austin, Lily, Avery, Kaitlyn, Brayleigh, Brayson, and Kaden.

Henry was a long time member of Crozet United Methodist Church. He retired from ACME Visable Records. He was also the owner of Garrison’s Fruit Market in Afton and Garrison’s Grocery in White Hall.

Henry loved to fish and hunt; however, the highlight of his life was spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who he loved dearly. He also adored his wife, with whom he called Doll baby and spent 55 wonderful years. Even later in life Henry never missed the chance to tell her how beautiful she was or how much he loved her.

The family would like to express their most sincere thanks to the staff at the UVa Medical Center’s 3 West Unit for the care given to Henry. Also, a special thank you to granddaughter, Christina Staton, UVa 3 West Unit Manager, for the care and love she gave her grandfather.

A funeral service will be conducted 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at Crozet United Methodist Church. Interment will follow at Prize Hill Cemetery.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at Crozet United Methodist Church.
