M. Evelyn Williams Garrick Slade Haines was reunited with her loved ones and Savior on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015.
She was born at home in Esto, Holmes County, Fla., to Thomas Lee Williams and Jennie Whitaker Williams on Nov. 25, 1921. She was the youngest of four children. Evelyn graduated from high school in Sebring, Fla., lettering twice in basketball. She was a longtime member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church. Evelyn was the first woman hired to work in the lab at International Paper Co. Following that, she worked in the tool room at the shipyard helping to build the Liberty ships for World War II. She married Martin C Garrick in 1941 and had her one and only child, Martin Earl Garrick. Evelyn later owned and operated The Bootery on Harrison Avenue for almost 25 years. She could determine shoe size just by sight. Her dedicated customers would also come to know and admire the picture of her three grandchildren, Sherry, Angela and Stephen, which was the first thing to see as you entered The Bootery.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Eugene Williams; sisters, Panzie Toole and Palma Simmons; and her husbands, Martin C Garrick, AJ Slade and Robert Haines.
Left to cherish her memory are her son, Martin Earl Garrick and daughter-in-law, Cynthia Garrick; grandchildren, Sherry Bruening and husband, Tony, Angela Garrick and Stephen Garrick; great-grandchildren, Elizabeth Bruening, Anthony Bruening and Taylor Bruening; nieces, Edna Arehart, Barbara Mayer and Melba Pannell; nephews, Greg and Vernon Williams; and many other great-nieces, -nephews and cousins; and cherished longtime friends, Susie Carroll, Linda Webb, Pat Hodges and Barbara Langston.
The family would like to thank Covenant Hospice Care Center and their home care staff Marcus and LaTonya, Dr. Vickie Harrell and staff for their excellent care. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation in Evelyn's name to Covenant Hospice, Shaddai Shrine Crippled Children's Transportation Fund, the Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center or St. Andrews United Methodist Church Building Fund.
Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015, at Southerland Family Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the chapel at Southerland Funeral Home with the Rev. Amy Parkes officiating. Interment will follow in Evergreen Memorial Gardens on U.S. 231. Asked to serve as pallbearers are Stephen Garrick, Anthony Bruening, Taylor Bruening, Tony Bruening, Jimmy Ruthven and W.C. Grimsley Jr.
