Dorothy Lee Garrett

Dorothy Lee Garrett passed away on August 31, 2017. Dorothy was born May 14, 1917 to Vera Ellen Lee and John Lee, in Houston, Arkansas. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband William L. Garrett; brothers Garland Lee, Jack Lee, Hershel Lee, and Heartsill Lee; as well as sisters Hazel Wilcox, Melda Wilson, and Clara Lee. She was also preceded in death by her three stepchildren. She is survived by one sister, Geraldine Hall and numerous loving nieces and nephews. Dorothy was a devoted Christian, a mighty prayer warrior, and was of the Baptist faith. She was employed as a bookkeeper, and upon retirement, enjoyed gardening and china painting. Her sweet potato casserole was always requested by family at holiday time. The last couple of years of her life were spent joyfully discussing and planning her 100th birthday party. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Barbara Garrett of Dalton, Georgia, for faithfully sending cards, notes, and gifts over the years, which lit up Aunt Dot’s face every time she received them. A graveside service will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at Forest Hills Cemetery, Alexander, AR. Memorials may be made to Hospice Homecare, care of Tribute of Life: 12120 Colonel Glenn Road, Suite 10000, Little Rock, AR 72210, or to the charity of your choice.
