Posted by: Janet Laubhan Flickinger
The Garrison family will greet friends from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Sunday,
January 19, 2014 at the Resthaven Funeral Home, 500 SW 104th Street in
Oklahoma City.
Zona Lea was born February 22, 1920 in Mountain Park, Oklahoma the daughter
of John Irma and Edith (Brown) Allen. She passed away early Thursday
morning, January 16, 2014 at her home.
Zona Lea was raised and educated in the Blair, Oklahoma area, graduating
from Blair High School in 1937. She attended one year of college at
Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Oklahoma before meeting and falling
in love with a tall and handsome gentleman named Alvin Garrison. The two of
them were married in the home of Zona Lea’s parents on July 8, 1939.
Alvin and Zona Lea invested 74½ years of their marriage ministering and
caring for countless people. A faithful and devoted wife, Zona Lea
invested her entire life walking side by side with Alvin as God called him
to lead multiple churches across Oklahoma. Zona Lea committed herself to
teaching Sunday school, doing church visitations and serving in numerous
leadership capacities to advance God’s Kingdom and teach others about Jesus
Christ. Zona Lea also enjoyed sewing, painting, and spending quality time
with her family.
Colossians 3:12 reads, “So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and
beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience”
Zona Lea’s life speaks to each word found in this verse. She lived a life
to serve others, always giving God the glory for it. She will be missed but
we rejoice in knowing she is at home with her Savior, united with a God she
simply adored.
She is survived by her husband, the Reverend Alvin Garrison of the home; one
daughter, Shirley Lykins and her husband, Rex of Oklahoma City; one
granddaughter, Jaime Conover and her husband, Rory of Newcastle, Oklahoma;
and her two great grandchildren, Christian and Addison Conover.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Travis Allen and
John Allen, Jr.; and two sisters, Verla Brown and Frances Shafer.
Entombment will conclude at
Resthaven Memory Gardens in Oklahoma City under the direction of the
Resthaven Funeral Home of Oklahoma City.
