Lorraine D. Garrott passed away at her home in Brookston on Thursday, January 17, 2013. She died as she had lived her life - with grace, courage, strength and faith in God. She was a graduate of Indiana University, and though she spent all of her adult life in the heart of Purdue country, she never waivered in her allegiance to her alma mater or to IU basketball. Mrs. Garrott was blessed to have had two devoted and loving husbands who predeceased her: Glen B. Garrott, "the love of my life", and Herbert E. May, "the icing on my cake". She is survived by daughters Chris G. Krok of Indianapolis and Janet (Michael) Grella of Seattle WA; a son, Doug (Barb) Garrott of Troy, ID; and three grandsons, Harry D. Garrott of Albany, NY; Wade O. Garrott of Burke, VA; and Gillis G. Garrott currently serving our country in Afghanistan. Other survivors include nieces, nephews, cousins, all of their families, and many, many friends who enriched her life - and of course, her beloved cat, Pansy. The family appreciates the care and kindness provided to Mrs. Garrott during her final illness by Comfort Keepers of Lafayette which enabled her to remain in her home - her most fervent wish. Friends may call from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, January 20, 2013 at Hartzler-Clapper Funeral Home of Brookston, and also from 12 p.m. (noon) until the time of funeral service at 1 p.m. Monday, January 21, 2013 at Brookston United Methodist Church.
