Mrs. Kate Garner was born March 14, 1948, in Hohenwald, to the late Woodrow “Pete” Tatum and Emma “Emmie” Gladden Tatum. Mrs. Garner wore many hats and possessed various roles throughout her life but her first priority was her faith in her God, and her unconditional love she had for her family and friends. She will be remembered for her strength and a strong will that sheltered her family during seemingly insurmountable odds during any storm life had to offer. She loved the outdoors and was a member of the Sweet Water Church of Christ. Mrs. Garner passed from this life peacefully at her home in Waynesboro, at the age of 76 years. 1 month and 21 days.

She is survived by her husband of many years Jerry Garner, daughter Stephanie Garner Barnett and husband Andee, son Jon Garner all of Waynesboro, grandchildren Katelyn Kline, Brennan Huff and wife Lexington, Britanny Mills and Husband Jacob, James Garner, Shon Garner, great-grandchildren Bastion Mills, Klaine Garner, Waylon Garner, Tate Kaine and Layla Garner

Services were held Sunday May 5, 2024, at North Highland Church of Christ with Dan White officiating. Burial followed in the North Highland Cemetery.
