NELLIE GARRETT

The world lost a true angel when Nellie M. Garrett, 63, of Garrettsville, passed away on Thursday, December 2, 2021. She was born on December 2, 1958 to Howard and Margaret (nee Leonard) Hedge.

Nellie was the type of person that everyone should strive to be. She was caring, thoughtful, and loving in every situation to every person she met. Nellie was very proud to retire from McMaster-Carr after 19 years of service. She touched the lives of so many in her life, but none more than her family. Nellie was a wonderful wife to Rob for 42 years, and an amazing mother to her three sons. As a grandmother, or Nina - the name given to her by her two grandsons, she was second to none. Nellie will truly be missed but forever loved, and the lessons she have taught her family and friends will be cherished always.

She will be deeply missed by her husband, Rob Garrett; sons, Jeremy (Jennifer) McCoy, Jason Garrett, and Josh Garrett; grandsons, Mason and Maverick McCoy; mother, Margaret Hedge; brothers, Andy (Debra) Hedge and Espy (Laura) Hedge, and many nephews, nieces, and friends.

Nellie is preceded in death by her father, Howard Hedge, and brother, Mark Hedge.
