On May 19, 1978, in Anniston, Alabama, Mr. Raymond Garrett, Sr. and Mrs. Carolyn Edison Garrett was blessed with the birth of a baby girl named Lolita Garrett. Lolita received Christ at an early age when she united with Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of her father, Pastor Raymond Garrett, Sr. While working in the Lord's vineyard, Lolita served as the president of the women's choir, taught vacation bible school, was a member of the praise dancing team, and assisted with many other auxiliaries of the church. She received her formal education in the Talladega City School System School System and was a1997 graduate of Talladega High School where she played on the girls' softball and basketball teams. Lolita later joined the workforce as a productive member of the manufacturing industry as an assembler until her health began to decline. On Lolita's journey through life, she became the proud, loving, and caring mother of two children, Kaitlyn and Makhail, who were her most prized possessions. She had a sweet spirit and a heart filled with cheer and laughter, always making people laugh. Lolita was a people person and the life of the party. She never met a stranger and cared genuinely about every person she encountered. Her beautiful smile and contagious personality would always brighten your day even at your dimmest moment. Lolita was full of enthusiasm and life. She was appreciative of every moment she had while living it.
