    Mrs. Garrett was my English teacher my senior year. Let’s just say I didn’t deserve her. Quite literally would not have graduated without her. Rest easy, dear lady.

    Marsha will be missed by those of us who worked with her and know that she made a difference in the lives of her students. It was a privilege to teach with her. She was my friend and I too will miss her.

    I remember Marsha back from the time we grew up in the Maple Crest addition in Fayetteville and going to church with the Garrett family at North Street. She was aways a joy to be around! Sympathy & Prayers from the Clark family.
