Julie Marie Garrett
1969-2024
Julie Marie Garrett, 55, of Edmond, passed away on September 10, 2024.
Julie was born on June 18, 1969, in Edmond, Oklahoma to Herbert and Alta Garrett. She was the second of three children which included her older brother Dale and younger brother, Barry. Her youth was spent growing up on the family farm tending to a multitude of animals. She graduated from Guthrie High School in 1987.
In 1989, Julie started a 35-year career at the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. She started as a Physical Evidence Technician and advanced to become the supervisor of the Physical Evidence Technician Unit. She won numerous awards and commendations at the Bureau, including Employee of the Year. Her friends and coworkers at the OSBI will dearly miss her contagious laugh, silly Halloween costumes and Hawaiian shirts. She will also be remembered for her wonderful treats, and her ability to quietly show up when needed and fix whatever needed fixing, including muscle aches.
In 2006, Julie received her certification as a Massage Therapist. Several clients, friends and family members received the benefits of her ability to walk up and find the exact spot to work on to relieve a sore muscle. This was just one more way she was always showing up to help. Whether it was during a remodel, working on a barn or babysitting little humans or animals, Julie was willing to lend a hand with most anything.
Julie’s other passions included traveling, skiing, sewing, collecting fossils and her dogs.
Julie is proceeded in death by her mother Alta and her grandparents, Ernest and Thelma Garrett and Wilford and Margaret Moberly. She is survived by her dad, Herb, her brothers and their spouses, Dale and Tracey Garrett, and Barry and Stacey Garrett. She is also survived by her numerous nieces and nephews, Jacob, Connor, Katelyn, Megan, Evan and Brenna.
Julie was loved by many and will be dearly missed by her friends, family and coworkers.
Services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, September 27, 2024 at Waterloo Road Baptist Church with interment to follow at Gracelawn Cemetery Edmond, OK.

Romany things bring back fond memories of Julie Marie. Cracker Barrel and the breakfasts we shared. Cardinals and the way they reminded us of our heavenly mothers. Dogs, her four leged fur babies. Teacups and her beauty. Disney and her whimsy.
Eternal rest grant her oh Lord and may perpetual light shine up on her.
Love Aunt Annita and Uncle Pat

Julie, I can’t even find the right words to express the depth and layers of my sadness over you being gone. The world was a better place with you in it and there will forever be an emptiness where you were; you will always remain in my heart. I wish you all the peace and love that you deserve, in your new place among the other angels.

Julie,
you will be sorely missed. I so cherished the conversations we could have when I would come up to drop evidence off. You always made my day coming up and hoping to see you. You were very, very special and will be truly missed. I look forward to seeing you again one day. Your Friend, Judah
Julie – please know you are loved by myself and so many people. Our working relationship dates back to when we first met at the OSBI in 1987 and I remember on that day your smile and friendly personality so vividly. Your dedication, talents, compassion, and integrity will not be forgotten. Your commitment to excellence sets the standard for all of us to follow. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Few people enter our lives whose sole purpose is to create harmony, exhibit compassion, and love unconditionally. That was Julie. She enriched my life and the lives of so many others. Her passing is a loss for all of us.
Julie, I love you my little friend. May God wrap his loving arms around you for eternity and bring you the peace you were seeking.
You will never know why certain things happen the way they do. You were a bright light Julie. My heart is saddened by your sudden departure. You are truly going to be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know you.
