The resolution honors John and Mary Garrett for their significant contributions to their community, recognizing them as Willie and Betty Farrior Family Foundation Honorees. The foundation, established in 2017 by Mary Louise Farrior-White and Retired Colonel Cedrick A. Farrior, pays tribute to Willie Farrior, a trailblazer for African Americans at the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind. The Garretts, who met at the Alabama School for the Blind and have been married since 1973, have actively participated in various community organizations, including the Alabama School for the Blind Alumni Workers Association and the Talladega Community Theater.

John and Mary Garrett are celebrated not only for their long-standing commitment to community service but also for their personal achievements and family life, including their daughter Tracy and granddaughter. Their involvement in Central Baptist Church, where they both sing in the choir, further exemplifies their dedication to community and faith. The resolution expresses the Alabama House of Representatives' gratitude and high regard for the Garretts' distinguished service and contributions.
