A memorial and celebration of life will be held by family and friends of former Capital High School health room assistant Shannon Garrett, who passed away on May 8, 2018 from an extended illness.

The remembrance will be held at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 9 at the Woman’s Club of Olympia, 1002 Washington St. S.E. in Olympia. There will be a potluck, and the family requests guests bring “a dish you know Mom loved or one you would love to share.”

The family also shares the following: “It will be a time to mourn, share memories, see old friends, heal ourselves and sing and celebrate the life of an incredible woman whose radiant love touched all of us deeply and changed each of our lives for the better. Come as you are in whatever attire, casual or dress, so you can just be the you she loved and cherished.”
