I was General Manager at Owens and Minor. I got to know Garnett well while we worked together. I have many fond memories of working with her. She did a great job and took pride in what she did. On the personal side she was always there to help someone, always there for a company function and always interesting to talk with. She will be missed.

I am blessed to have known Garnet and to have had her in my life. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed by all. I have many wonderful memories of the few years we had together. She was like a mother to me while I lived out in Iowa and I will never forget that.
It broke my heart to hear that she passed away, but it comforts me to know she is no longer in pain and is no longer suffering. While here on earth, she was everyone's angel. She is now an angel up in heaven watching over us all.
My deepest sympathy to Roger and all the family she leaves behind.
Rest in peace Aunt Garnet and know you were LOVED by all.
