Mrs. Lusterene V. Graves Garrett was born August 21, 1921 to William Preston Graves and Mrs. Sendie Bigelow Moore.
Mother Garrett became a member of Smyrna Church at an early age under the leadership of her brother the Late Apostle Preston Graves Sr. where she served faithfully until her illness.
Mother Garrett was a praiser and loved the Lord. She didn't mind helping anyone tarry for the Holy Ghost and had no problem saying "You ain't got it, come back tomorrow night". Mother Garrett had no problem testifying about how good God was to her. She was known for saying "He looked on me with an eye of pity and a heart full of love and saved a wretch like me" and then she would speak in tongues. Mother Garrett would testify how she was baptized the first time "I went down a dry devil and came up a wet devil, but when she went down in the Name of Jesus there was change instantly". She was known as "Aunt Lus" and "Mother Garrett" to many. Mother Garrett was a foster mother to many children whom she raised in her home.
She leaves to cherish in her memory three children: Theresa Garrett, Delores Garrett Johnson (Johnnie) and Bernard Garrett Sister: Mrs. Lottie Thomas (Russell) Sister-in-Law: Mother Ivadell Graves (Apostle Preston Graves Sr.) Brother-in-Law: Sylvester Pinnix (Bertha) Grandchildren: William Wilson IV, Re'Ajha Wilson, Joaquin Miller, Elder Dexter Dodd, Tara Dodd and Bernadette (Shay) Dodd Great- Grandchildren: Aiyana Moore, Alexis Norman and Jaelin Moore
