Cindy
graduated as a member of the Gore High School class of 1972 and went on
to complete her education at Connors State College and Oklahoma State
University earning a degree in medical technology. She spent the next 36
years working in the medical field with a true passion for her career
and loved all those she worked with.
On November 21, 1975 she married the love of her life, Charles Garrison
at the House of Prayer. They made their home in Gore, Oklahoma and were
blessed with three amazing children -Ryan, Sean and Heather Lee. Her
children were always the light of her life. She took great pride in
raising them with the same loving nurture and admonition that was passed
to her as a child. She adored her children and could not have been more
proud of them. Cindy was not only a wonderful mother to her own children
but to those they love dearly. She always expressed her thankfulness for
them and the gift of her beautiful grandchildren. Nana treasured each
moment she spent with them - watching ballgames, playing trucks and tea
party, and listening to them sing sweet songs. She had so much love to
give and her grandchildren had her heart. Most that knew her called her
"Sweet Cindy" and knew what a hard worker she was. Spending many days
working on the ranch she was always ready and willing to help. Whether
fixing fence, changing a tractor tire or working cattle, she was always
by Charles' side. She supported her family and enjoyed spending time
together in loyalty, kindness and love. She had a special way of making
big things seem like nothing at all. She was the perfect example of a
selfless person because was she an avid follower of her savior, Jesus
Christ. Cindy made it a priority to spend time with him every day in
prayer, bible study and worship. That special quite time was a big part
of who she was. Her faith in the Lord saw her through the battle with
breast cancer, allowing her to continue loving her family for years to
come. She was a Godly woman whose love left a lasting impact on her
family.
Cindy was preceded in death by her son, Ryan Garrison; her Mother Lois
Johnston Meeks; her father Lee Roy Johnston; her brother Kelly Johnston;
