Baitsholts Flynn, Garnet

Fairport – Garnet was a bright light upon us from the moment she entered this world. As the firstborn daughter and grandchild, she was a girl so loved that her feet rarely touched the ground. Garnet was a creative force with a spark of genius that could ace a calculus test without studying, yet spend hours writing her own amazing stories. Garnet would spend countless days reading Harry Potter Books, which was generally followed by creating her own potions to test on her younger brother and sister. Garnet loved nature, whether she was walking the dog with her mom on the trails, hiking the ravine behind Ellison Park with her friends, or body surfing at Long Sands Beach in Maine. Her passions ran very deeply.

Garnet and Michael were bound together since the moment they met, growing up in Fairport. Through highs and lows, year after year, they found themselves happily married at last. This union was equally matched in joy with the birth of their daughter Lily, in 2016. Lily was the brightest star in Garnet’s life, her ‘pumpkin’, her love, and her passion. Garnet loved her husband, family, and daughter with all she had. While we are deeply saddened by the loss of Garnet, we are forever grateful for the time we were given with her, however brief. We will always love and miss our ‘Cheerio Girl.’

Please come celebrate Garnet’s life this Saturday (7/20) 1:00PM, at Trinity Reformed Church (909 N Landing Rd, Rochester, NY 14625). Laughter is encouraged, stories are welcome, and support is appreciated.

    I’m so very sorry for the loss of beautiful Garnet. I had Garnet in my Sophmore Biology class when she was 15. She made an impression on me from the start of the year, with her smiles and her friendliness… she often stopped by outside of class and in subsequent years to say hello or just to chat. She was a lovely young lady and I feel so lucky to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. ?
