Dorothy Alice Garant

March 15, 1926 - January 10, 2021

Dorothy Alice Garant, age 94, was born to William and Martha Cramer in Fenton, Michigan on March 15, 1926. She passed away at her home in Holly, Michigan surrounded by her family after a long illness. She will be greatly missed by her children: Kathleen (William) Brody, William Garant, Norman (Debbie) Garant and Lorraine (Paul) Garant- Bauer and, nephew Kenneth Walker. She leaves 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and 4 great-great-grandchildren. She is survived by her sister, Elizabeth Young. She was preceded in death by her husband Ernest, parents, and a special niece Sandrea Walker. Dorothy was small in stature, but large in life. She was a force to be reckoned with, a hard worker her whole life and a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend. She worked for the Holly Volunteer Ambulance and was a school bus driver. She also decorated and baked cakes for a lot of Holly children's birthdays, weddings and graduations. Dorothy was a Girl Scout and Cub Scout Leader. Her house was the neighborhood gathering place for all her children's friends. Dorothy had a stroke in February of 2017. Her children cared for her in her home until her death, with the help of her grandson George. We would like to also thank her caretaker, Diana Mann, for the wonderful care she provided for Dorothy. Her children appreciated that this allowed them to take a much needed break with confidence Dorothy was getting the best care possible. Dorothy was also in the care of the Medical Team Hospice who were wonderful, kind, and compassionate. We would also like to thank our cousins Charisse Spencer and Karen O'Neill who also helped out. Private family funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Wed. Jan. 13, 2021 at the Dryer Funeral Home, Holly with Pastor Ed Pedley officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery, Fenton. Visitation with social distancing restrictions will be from 1-4 and 6-8 PM Tuesday at the Dryer Funeral Home. www.dryerfuneralhomeholly.com
