Treva Nell Garrison, age 95, of Harrison, passed away Monday, July 28, 2014, at The Highlands of Harrison at Tims. She was born in Jenny Lind, Arkansas December 17, 1918, to the late Lola and Marvin Blaylock. In addition to her parents and husband Grady, Treva was preceded in death by an infant son, Jim Owen Garrison; her sister, Mary Ellen Jones; and her brother, Marvin Blaylock, Jr.

Treva married Grady Glen Garrison November 18, 1945, and they were happily married for 44 years until he passed away in 1989. She retired from McKesson where she worked as a secretary for 15 years. She previously worked for the public school system and the Chamber of Commerce, both in Ft. Smith.

Treva loved spending time outdoors and loved to knit. She was well known for her many Christmas stockings she would knit for new additions to the family and for friends. She also enjoyed her volunteer work at Miss Laura's Visitor's Center.

Treva is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Gary and Lela Garrison, of Harrison; her granddaughter, Christy Sams and husband Randy of Fayetteville; her sister and brother-in-law, Eloise and Dan Rogers of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and many nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
