GARRETT, Agnes – our beloved mother, of Flint, age 91, was called home for eternal rest on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Her work here is done.
Agnes was born in Flint, Michigan on June 9, 1934, the daughter of the late Wallace Charles and Frances (Reid) Ross. She was the youngest of two children. Agnes attended Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, N.C. and Flint Central High School. Agnes married Ray F. Garrett Jr. on May 15, 1951, and to that union were born four children. Agnes touched the lives of many people with her generous and kind soul. She was a “people person”, loving good company and good times. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, visits and conversations with friends and family, and above all else she loved spending time with her grandchildren.
The late Jackie Robinson said “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” Agnes affected so many lives with her advice, infectious smile, and personality. Everything Agnes did she did with class and style. Her Celebration of Life will continue through each of us, as we carry out her legacy.
Agnes leaves to cherish her memory,
Son, George “Abdul” Garrett (Colleen);
Daughter, Tracie Edwards (Alonzo);
Grandchildren, Rayna DeVeaux (Davon), Alonzo Edwards (Amani), Brennon Edwards, Andrea Garrett, Rayfield Garrett III (Danae) and Erica Keeling (Curtis);

She was also preceded in death by her husband, Ray F. Garrett Jr., sons, Darrell Garrett and Charles Garrett, granddaughter, Tracie Garrett, brother, Charles Wallace Ross, and grand dog, Pepper Edwards.
Words cannot express how much all of your love and support given to Agnes and our family during this difficult time has meant to us. Thank you all.
