Ms. A. Blondella Garnette was born August 27, 1932 in Lincolnton, Georgia to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Garnette (Ella Pearl). She entered into eternal rest suddenly on November 11, 1991.
Blondella was loved by all who knew her and never met anyone as a stranger. She worked at Big Star as a clerk for many years.
She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Ms. Garnette is survived by one brother, Mr. John Garnette; four sisters, Deacon and Mrs. Olin Jinks (Ruth), Ms. Marina Etoye Houston, Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Amey (Sarah) and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Varner, Sr. (Jean); uncle, Mr. Floyd McCord; seven nephews, two nieces, six grandnephews, a devoted niece, Mrs. Monica Harris, a dear cousin, Mrs. Emma Jean Pruitt; two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Gussie Garnette and Mrs. Juanita Garnette; a host of other relatives and friends.
Dear Auntie: I am writing this to you to say goodbye. You
left so suddenly, without notice, without warning. Bull have solace in knowing that you did not suffer, but merely moved on up a little higher. Auntie, thanks for all of your encouragement and belief in me. I will always cherish our talks and good times together. I know our paths will cross again.
Until then, I'll love you always. Monica
