Alta Irene (Hurt) Garrison, age 87, of Elberfeld, was lifted by God's hand to join Him in Heaven on the 3rd day of March, 2010.
Irene was a loving wife, strong Christian mother, and a devoted church member at Bible Center Cathedral.

Irene was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Vern Garrison, who passed away in March of 2009; daughters, Sylvia Reynolds and Verna Basilo; grandsons, Ronnie Lee Garrison, Jr., and Keith Allen Garrison; and brothers, Henry and Tom Hurt; and sisters, Margaret Skeels; and Pearl Nicholson.
