Jane Deloris Garrett

Jane Drainer Garrett

Jane D. Garrett, 83, of Morgantown went to dance with the angels on Saturday, July 11, 2020. She was born May 2, 1937 to the late Augustus Drainer and Eva Grace Black Drainer.

She attended University High School, while working at Morgantown Florist and was a proud cheerleader in the mid-fifties.

Jane was a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She devoted and enjoyed 40+ years of her life caring for children all over Morgantown and was well known as “Mama Jane”. Vivacious, and always with a smile, she cherished her role as an amazing homemaker and a mother to all who came her way. She was a passionate WVU sports fan with a “Mountaineer Room” dedicated to her memorabilia. She was an avid bowler and participated in Morgantown area bowling leagues for decades. Above all else, Jane’s steadfast spirit taught us all how to persevere through tough times while always looking her best.

In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband Charles “Chuck” Garrett in 1965; and her long-term partner James “Jimmy” Heston in 1991, a great grandson Logan Garrett Slater in 2010 and son, David Garrett in 2018. She was the fifth youngest of her ten siblings and was the only survivor for the last eleven years, (7) brothers, Charles, Richard, Gerald “Jerry”, David, Edward, James and Bobby; and (3) sisters, Ginger Drainer Robinson, Billie Lea Shrout and Peggy Ann Scios.

Jane is survived by her son Daniel A. Garrett, daughter Debra K. Garrett, and Darren L. (Amber) Heston. (9) grandchildren, Michael Garrett, Katy Garrett, Kristina Garrett (Jim) Locklar, Kaylea (Aaron) Bequeath, Codee (Wes) Miller, Tessa Heston, Christopher Heston, AJ Stone, and Brandon Heston; as well as 4 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many adoring nieces and nephews. The family would also like to acknowledge the exceptional care and devoted staff of WVU Medicine, Care Partners and Hospice.

A private service will be held Friday July 17, 2020 at Fred L. Jenkins Funeral home for immediate family. A celebration of life will be announced at a later time with an open door for all who wish to honor her. In remembrance of Jane, memorial contributions may be made to:
