Rosemary Garrett, a long-time resident of the Tulsa area, passed away Saturday the 14th of November.
Born in Muskogee, OK on September 14th, 1926 to Cora and Thomas Starnes, Rosemary completed high school in Cushing. There she married her sweetheart Laurence Garrett in 1944.
After moving to Tulsa, Rosemary started working at Mid- Continent Casualty Co. in 1956, worked her way up and retired as a Vice President in charge of Automobile Underwriting.
Rosemary loved traveling the world with her beloved husband and showing her grandkids all the sights that the US had to offer from road side stops to major national parks. When at home she enjoyed puzzles, British mystery novels, shopping the clearance section, and cooking. Above all she treasured her time with family. She was "Mimi" to every one she met. Rosemary and her husband were long time members of East Side Christian Church.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 62 years, Laurence Garrett, son Richard Garrett, a brother and 2 sisters. She is survived by her sister Elizabeth Stubbs, son Brian Garrett and his daughter Melody Wortham (husband Brian); daughter-in-law Cindy Garrett, her children Scott and Terra (Terra's husband Dan Guarriello and their son, Rosemary's great grandson Ellis) and numerous nieces and nephews.
A small private family memorial service will be held Monday. Moore's Funeral Service, Tulsa, has been entrusted with arrangements.
