Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Teresa Gail Garvin, of Arkansas, passed away on the morning of December 27, 2025. She was  a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a cherished member of her  community. 

Born and raised in Arkansas, Teresa graduated from NLR Ole Main High School in 1976 and  was a longtime member of Central Baptist Church. Known for her remarkable creativity, she  had an exceptional eye for decorating and could transform simple or ordinary items into  something truly special. She enjoyed crocheting, sewing, feather painting, and crafting, and she  filled her home with handmade pieces that reflected her love for her family. 

Teresa is survived by her husband, Mike Garvin; her children, Jason Garvin and Courtney  Garvin Brock; her grandchildren, Brandon Brock, Braydon Brock, and Cody Sanchez; her  great-grandchildren, Nova Brock and Lainey Brock; her brother Frank Holley and her sister  Janet Clements

She will be remembered for her generous heart, her ability to listen with genuine care, and the  comfort she offered to those who needed her. Teresa was a steady source of support, guidance,  and protection for her family, always bringing light into difficult moments and offering a  calming perspective during life’s challenges. 

Her passing leaves a deep void in the lives of those who loved her, and she will be missed  terribly. Her family takes comfort in the belief that they will be reunited with her in heaven. 

A family-hosted celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 11:00am at Central Baptist Church located at 5200 Fairway Ave in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

    A Prayer of Hope and Comfort
    Heavenly Father,
    With trusting hearts, we place the life of Teresa into Your loving care. We thank You for the gift she was, for the love she gave, and for the faith that shaped her life.
    Lord Jesus, in Your promise of eternal life, we find our hope. Receive Teresa into Your peace, where every tear is wiped away and joy is made complete.
    Holy Spirit, draw near to Mike and all who grieve. Be close to the brokenhearted, and let Your peace guard their hearts in this time of sorrow.
    Father, we offer our loss and our love back to You, trusting in the reunion You have promised.
    We rest in Your unfailing love.
    Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
    Amen.
