Barbara Mikulencak Garrett, devoted, caring and loving wife, mother, and grandmother went with the angels on May 1, 2002. A woman of rare courage and true beauty, she will be missed by all. She was a treasure that not often comes our way. A beautiful person who thought of others before herself. She will be dearly missed by her husband of 31 years, John Garrett, daughter Gina Karbs and husband Chad Karbs, son John Garrett III and wife Amanda Garrett, grandson Garrett Karbs, mother Ann Mikulencak, brother, Dr. Al Mikulencak and wife Vera Mikulencak, sister Dorothy Montz and husband Mike Montz, sister Alice Pawelek and husband Jerry Pawelek and hosts of dear friends. Barbara gave love and smiles throughout her life. She was the special unique individual that all liked. Always they're with patience, supporting and sacrificing for her family. Her friends were always special to her, they came in through the kitchen. Always with her positive attitude, an uplifting spirit and a vitality that was infectious to everyone. She was truly our angel on earth. After a long courageous battle with failing health, our precious Barbara with the big brown eyes went to her rest. She is now one of God's angels where she will still watch over all those that she loved. Rest in peace, we love you and miss you dearly. Born in Elgin, Texas on April 26, 1949 and graduated from the University of Texas in 1970 with a BS in Education. Married to John Garrett in 1971 and lived throughout the rest of her life in Deer Park, Texas.
