Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark July 29, 1934

Mrs. Mary Eleanor Garrett, widow of George H. Garrett, died last night at 
9:40 o'clock after a brief illness at the home of her cousins, the Misses M. 
Sue and Margaret Tatem, 427 Pendleton Street, Berkley.  Mrs. Garrett had 
been in excellent health and was stricken with a heart attack yesterday

been recovering until the second attack last night.

had been identified with church activities and benevolent work, but was a 
beloved and esteemed member of St. Bride's Episcopal Church.  In her younger 
life she was known to practically every home in the community where there 
was sickness or bereavement.
Mrs. Garrett was a native of Deep Creek, Norfolk County, a daughter of N.L. 
and Mrs. Margaret Susan Cherry and a granddaughter of Col. Isaiah Cherry.  
After attending college she made her home in Berkley in the early days of 
the young community, where she spent the remainder of her life, becoming 
identified with its social and benevolent activities.
In addition to the two cousins mentioned, Mrs. Garrett is survived by two 
children, Miss Laura Gertrude Garrett, of 427 Pendleton Street and one son, 
H.L. Garrett, of Jacksonville, Fla.  The body was taken to the J.R. Williams
