Garnet, age 90, of La Farge died Tuesday at Bethel Home in Viroqua. She was born, near La Farge, the daughter of Hallie & Hilma (Silbaugh) Campbell. Garnet was united in marriage with John Joe Stout on Aug. 10, 1939. They farmed together several years while raising their family. John preceded her in death May 28, 1989. Garnet graduated from Vernon County Teacher's College in 1960 and was very proud of her teaching career, which spanned until 1995. She began teaching grades one through eight in Salem Ridge and other outlying schools, and finished her career as a fourth-grade teacher in La Farge. She earned her bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 1967, graduating at the same time as her son.
She especially loved teaching her students about the state of Wisconsin. Her teaching skills continued beyond retirement, as she encouraged and arranged for her family to take educational trips, including to Washington, D.C., and Alaska, while she remained in the Kickapoo Valley and worried constantly about her family while they were all gone together at one time.
She was an excellent homemaker, cook and quilter and was extremely proud of her family. In later years, when health concerns arose, several friends and family reached out to enable Garnet to remain in her home as long as possible.
Survivors include her son, two granddaughters, four great-grandchildren, her daughter-in-law, Garnet's lifelong special friend, her siblings, her two brothers-in-law, many nieces and nephews; and cousins and friends.
In addition to her husband, Garnet was preceded in death by her parents; by her brother, Merton (Betty) Campbell; and in-laws, Frances Stout, Genevieve Franks, Helen Purvis and Marvin Stanek. A special thanks is extended to her personal health attendants, Doris Odegard, Annette Hysel and Dennis Franks; to the La Farge Clinic staff; to Bethel Home in Viroqua; to Vernon Memorial Hospice; and to Dr. Jim De Line.
Funeral services were held at La Farge Free Methodist Church. Pastors Mark Phillips and Bonita Dorschied officiated.
