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 pioneering figure in the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind, who was the first African American to be recognized as Blind Worker of the Year in 1973. The foundation aims to acknowledge individuals who have dedicated their time and efforts to improve their communities.

John and Mary Garrett, who met at the Alabama School for the Blind and graduated from there, have been active members of their community through various organizations, including the Alabama School for the Blind Alumni Workers Association and the Talladega Antique Car Club. They have been married since 1973 and are proud parents and grandparents. Their commitment to service is further exemplified by their involvement in Central Baptist Church, where they both sing in the choir. The resolution expresses the Alabama House of Representatives' gratitude and high regard for the Garretts' distinguished service.
