Brit Garner Obituary

Brit Ella, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, deeply loved her family. Her joy in writing poems and songs was only surpassed by her delight in sharing them with those she cherished. Her conversations were always infused with her devout love for God, a love she was eager to share with everyone she met.

Her arts and crafts were a testament to her creativity, but her greatest pride and joy was her family, especially her grandchildren. Those who knew her well understood that if the music played, she would find one of her babies as her dance partner. Now, she can dance forever and never grow weary.

Brit Ella (Malone) Garner was born in Cherokee, Alabama to the parents of Harry Leslie Malone Sr.(deceased) and Mary Elizabeth (Watkins) Malone (deceased). She has nine siblings, 5 of which are deceased. She married sweetheart Robert Garner, and they have resided in Tuscumbia, Alabama, for the
past 62 years.


Brit Ella is survived by her beloved husband, Robert Earl Garner of Tuscumbia, Alabama, and their four children: Varilie Garner, Madison, Alabama; Donald Garner, Sr (Deceased); Leslie James Garner (Natalie) of Muscle Shoals; Sequieta Young, Atlanta, Georgia. Stepson: Cornell Carroll, Florence, Alabama. She is also survived by her sisters, Diana Chatman (Lee) of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Remalle Burnett (William) of Indianapolis, Indiana, and her brothers, Reverend Jacob Earl Malone (Annie), Jack Timothy Hamilton, Indianapolis, Indiana. Grandchildren: Brittney Williams, William Fordham of Atlanta, Georgia, Javante Thirlkill, Megan Garner, Aaron Garner, Lesley Garner, Jamarvios Garner of Tuscumbia, Alabama, Donald Garner, Jr, Madison, AL. Her sister-in-law, Johnnie Snell of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Alberta Garner of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Brother-in-law, Reverend Otis Garner of Russellville, Alabama, Charles Garner of Tuscumbia, Alabama, and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

“I can no longer see with you my eyes or touch you with my hands, but I feel you in my heart.”
