On the 13th day of May, 1944, Luther Garrett and Masrine McCaster Garrett welcomed a son, James Luther Garrett, in Talladega County, Alabama.
Mr. Garrett dedicated his life to Christ and served as a deacon of New Hope Baptist Church. He was a graduate of Clay County Training School and continued his education at vocational school and received training as an electrician. James was employed with Alabama Power, Shell Plant in Sylacauga, Seaboard Coastline Railroad and retired in the early 2000s as a master electrician with Cable One. When he was not working, you could find James gardening, riding motorcycles, fishing, traveling, doing electrical work on the side and watching Auburn football. On June 15, 1981, James took the hand of the former Annie Ruth Jackson in holy matrimony.
On the evening of Thursday, August 12, 2021, James answered the Master’s call. He was preceded in passing by his parents, Luther and Masrine Garrett; an infant brother, Amos Garrett; and a sister, Carrie Sheppard.
Precious memories will forever be in the heart of his wife of 40 years, Annie R. Garrett of Lineville, Alabama; four daughters, Carolyn Jackson of Lineville, Alabama, Doris (Paul) Wright of Smith Station, Alabama, Mary Joe (Larry) Simmons and Annette Jackson of Lineville, Alabama; one son, Izear Jackson of Lineville, Alabama; eight grandchildren; seventeen great grandchildren; three sisters, Bertharine (Robert) Smith, Everlean Perry and Laura Glenn of Lineville, Alabama; three brothers, Alfonza (Wanda) Garrett of Lineville, Alabama, Earnest (Bernadette) Garrett of Birmingham, Alabama and John (Linda) Garrett of Lineville, Alabama; a special niece and caregiver, Tilda Taylor of Lineville, Alabama; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
