Lucy Garrett, born October 8, 1940, passed away peacefully in her home on October 7, 2024. Known for her loving and caring nature, Lucy's legacy is one of kindness and generosity. She was a pillar of support to her family, always putting them first, a virtue she cherished and passed on to her loved ones.

Lucy was preceded in death by her father, Christopher Columbus Cummings; her mother, Annie Lou Herren Cummings; her beloved husband, Aaron Turner Garrett; her precious daughter, Kimberly Seevers; her brother, Robert Christopher Cummings; and her beloved sister, Mary Francis Cummings.

A native of Burnsville, Lucy graduated from Burnsville High School in 1957. She married the love of her life, Aaron Turner Garrett, in 1965. She spent the majority of her occupational life as a devoted secretary of Burnsville School, a role she took great pride in and considered one of her greatest accomplishments.

Lucy's heart held a special place for Elvis Presley's music. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, creating moments of laughter and love. These moments are the beautiful memories her family will hold close to their hearts.
