Julia Cundiff Garbee

Born in Huddleston, VA on April 26, 1922 she was a daughter of the late Willie Stone Cundiff and Mary Antholine Cundiff. She retired from General Electric Corp with 24 years of service, was a Stock Accumulator at Bradley Park and a Packaging Recorder at the former Carroll Avenue Plant. She also worked alongside her husband in the bus ministry at Hyland Heights Baptist Church where she was a charter member.

Most importantly, Mrs. Garbee was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and readily had a word on her tongue for Him each and every day. She became a stellar prayer warrior as she lost her ability to see and could not read the Bible for herself. Her absolute favorite things were listening to scripture, praying, hearing gospel music and being with her family.

She is predeceased by a son, Robert Stone Garbee; three sisters, Edna Meeks, Irene Burton, and Ruby Elliott.

Julia is survived her children, M. Duane “Pogo” Garbee , Judith “Cookie” Garbee White (Gary), and Paul “Dickie” Edward Garbee (Deborah); grandchildren, Robert E. Garbee (Cherie), Nicholas Garbee White, Kimberly Garbee Shorr (Jeremy), Crystal G. Farley (Ben), and Emily K. Garbee; great-grandchildren, H. Nichole Garbee, Jonah R. Garbee, Lila E. Shorr, and Lucy A. Adkins.
