Viola Garton

March 4, 1929 — December 23, 2016

Viola Garton

Dr. Jean Garton was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 4, 1929 and died on December 23, 2016 at the age of 87. She and her loving husband of sixty-two years, the late Reverend Horace "Chic" Garton were blessed with four children, seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
God used Jean to be a world-renown expert on pro-life issues. He provided her with opportunities to testify before the U.S. Congress and state legislatures concerning life issues. Her writings include books such as Who Broke the Baby?, scripts for documentary videos, and daily radio commentaries for five years, plus countless articles on numerous topics. She traveled the world speaking before royalty and government leaders as well as at gatherings of three or four to deliver the message God had entrusted to her.
Even with all of Jean's accomplishments, at the end, what mattered most to her was the knowledge that eternity was secure not because of all she had done but by the blood of her Savior, Jesus Christ. In Him all her sins were forgiven. Through Him, she, her family and many friends, and all others who place their confidence in Him will rise from the dead when He returns. It is then she will hear her Lord say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
Memorial service will be held from 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM, Saturday, January 21, 2016, at Friends in Christ Lutheran Church, 4305 Highway 5 North, Bryant, Arkansas 72022. Services entrusted to Smith-Benton Funeral Home. Online guestbook: www.SmithFamilyCares.com.
