Garvin was born to the late Leonard and Myrtle Feuchter on Nov. 25, 1931, in Ocala, Fla. She married Russell E. Garvin on Sept. 23, 1950.
She had a passion for baking, cooking, reading, crocheting and sewing. She loved being outdoors and had an amazing passion for animals. Her true love was being with her family and friends. She was always ready to help in any way she could, either with advice, a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen. She gave her love freely to everyone in her life!
Garvin was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend and will be missed by all.
