Lucy Garner
May 11, 1938 ~ October 17, 2024
Lucy Burton Garner, “Ma” was born on May 11, 1938, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2024. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, known for her warmth, wisdom, and love of family.
Lucy was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Jesse Leonard Garner, and her son, Darrell Van Garner. She is survived by her three sons, Randall, Jeffrey, and Matthew, along with their devoted wives, Lori, Kelli, and Skylar. Lucy’s legacy also lives on through her adoring grandchildren: Tyler, Hunter, Kayla (Fiancé Josiah), Zachary, Brayden, Isaac, and Landry, as well as her great-grandchild, Jayce.
A woman of faith, Lucy found joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly those spent on her porch, where she would take in the beauty of God’s creation and share her timeless wisdom with those she loved. Her home was a gathering place for family, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Lucy will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

Our condolences go out to the family. Lucy was always nice to us. She and Jesse was always there to help when we needed our car worked on and when we needed gas to keep it running. They were friends to us for sure!!! Family look to the Lord for comfort, help and strength during your time of sorrow.
We love Aunt Lucy… you will always be in our hearts 🙏❤️
My thoughts and prayers to Randy,Jeff, and Matthew and their families…and to all who knew Lucy knew she was full of love…All will miss her love, kindness and talks we had with her on her porch……She has earned her wings..
Love and prayers to all the family. I’ll never forget how kind Lucy was to me as a child when she ran the store in front of our house near the Robbins Crossroads.
Matt- I am so so sorry to hear about your mom! Prayers for comfort and peace knowing she is with God our Savior! Hugs my friend!! Love Susan and Robert Reeve
With Heart-Felt Sympathy, Love and Prayers 🙏 for all the family. Lucy was a very special lady. Memories of hanging out at the station with her and talks we shared, priceless. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Lucy will be sorely missed by all that knew her. What a great reunion, Lucy, Jesse together again along with their first born son Darrell. Such a special family to me.
