Berrien, Pastor of New Bethel M. B. Church of Parrish, FL, eulo- gist. Interment will follow in Wimauma Community Cemetery.
Mother Goldie Garnett lived a full life of 106 years old. She was born Goldie Hansley in 1908 in Hamp- stead, North Carolina.
She was the daughter of Fred and Millie Hansley. She was raised and grew up in Hampstead, NC.
She was married in 1936 to James Garnett, Sr. She and her husband relocated to Wimauma, FL, and raised their 6 children. She later raised their children as a sin- gle mother after her hus- band’s early demise.
Mother Goldie had been a resident of Wimauma, Hills- borough County, FL, for over 77 years. She was the longest living member of First Prospect M. B. Church and was a faithful choir member and loyal member for many years.
She worked many years in agriculture, cultivation, and later in the plant nursery, until her retirement.
She has been a fixture in our community and a rock. Many were raised by Mother Goldie in the days when a community helped to raise a
child. The key to her longevity was hard work and an unshakable faith where she truly gave it all to God and stopped worrying about it. Her faith was strong and unshakable. If you talked and praised God, she would always listen. Her favorite song that truly touched and stirred her soul was “Get Right Church And Let’s Go Home.” Even when she be- came ill and frail in her later years, she would stir at the sound of that song and join right in.
Mother Goldie Garnett was preceded in death by: her husband, James Garnett, Sr.; her sons, Earl Garnett and Charlie Garnett; son-in- law, Joe Lundy; her niece, Bessie Jenkins; granddaugh- ter, Judy Allen Senat; grand- son, Charlie Lawrence; and great grandson, Marquis Lundy.
