Guy Thomas Jarrett

He was born in Guilford County on April 29, 1920 to James Franklin and Myrtle McDowell Jarrett, but had resided in Trinity for most of his life. He was the loving husband of Dorothy Lee Walker Jarrett, who survives of the home. They were married on August 29, 1944 and shared 69 years together. He was preceded in death by his parents as well as his older brothers and sisters.

Guy was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and was a long-time employee of Carolina Container Corp. He enjoyed gardening and shared his bountiful tomatoes with friends and family. He was a member of Hopewell United Methodist Church in Trinity and was a member of the Senior Adult Bible Class. For many years, he and Dorothy served as Communion Stewards.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of the home; daughter, Patsy Jarrett Grooms and husband Joe of Lexington; grandson, Joe Grooms and wife Katherine of Lexington; great-grandchildren, Brandi Elizabeth and Alisha Grooms of Lexington; special niece, Sarah Bailey and husband Clyde of Thomasville, who were loving and devoted caregivers; and his special friends and neighbor, Pete Newton and wife Polly. Also surviving are half-sisters, Ann Dallman of Archdale, Carol Turner of Lansing, Ruby Hazelwood and husband Herbert of Archdale; and half-brother, Jerry Jarrett and wife Tootsie of Trinity, and several nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, December 17th, 2013 at 2 pm at Hopewell United Methodist Church Cemetery by the Reverend Ken Spencer. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 pm Monday, December 16th, 2013 at Thomasville Funeral Home, 18 Randolph Street, Thomasville, and other times at the home.
