Sarann Garfield

June 29, 1929 - July 16, 2016

Sarann Garfield, 87, of Alamo, peacefully passed away Saturday, July 16, 2016 at the Comfort House in McAllen after a battle with brain cancer. A longtime Valley resident, Sarann lived a full life surrounded by loving family and life-long friends. She loved to jitterbug, travel, golf, and play cards with close friends. She always had a kind word followed by a wisecrack, and could teach you how to make margaritas, hot rolls, and peanut brittle. She treasured her high school friends, weekends at the arroyo, and having a purse for every occasion. Her family will miss her dearly, especially around Christmas time when she was the best accessorized in the state of Texas. We know that in heaven, Sarann will find the joy and peace of her Savior, as well as the perfect pair of red shoes. Sarann was preceded in death by her husband William H. “Bill” Garfield; sons Guy William and Dallas Nyal; her parents Ina Kate and Nyal; and her brother Dean. She is survived by her daughter Inalee Blackwell (Joe), son Kirk Garfield (Teansie), daughter Denise Moore (Marty), four grandchildren, three great granddaughters, two step great grandsons and a step great great grandson.
