The Rob and Erma Garrett family-an important part of Nephi history.

Although Rob & Erma have been transferred to a heavenly sphere, they were a foundational part of rural America, who taught kids and grandkids to work hard and take responsibility to improve the lives of others. They also took in a foster child. Rob & Erma have hundreds of family members would can tell the tales of their service, but we wanted to remind new Nephi arrivals that these two and their families should never be forgotten. Rob's mother died while giving him life on earth, so big brother Jim was there to help raise Rob, then help transfer him back home through that thin veil. Rob learned scriptures while tending range sheep, and both he and son Ross were favorite funeral speakers, as they could speak without notes-from knowledge and their heart. Erma was born in Juab County, learning how to work hard on the farm, then sell penny candy at "The Serv" which is now known as Garrett Honda in Nephi, Utah. Their kids are Elizabeth, Joe, Ross, Corrine Garrett, Lucy Sanders, and Afton. We have included two photos of Rob & Erma; one of Rob's brother and a recent one of Corrine Garrett, who wished all her friends and family a "Happy Valentines Day".

  1. Oh the many times me and Sandra took bottles to Robs to get penny candy. They were always so patient as we struggled to make our choices. Sweet memories. Mom was not happy when we brought home candy cigarettes!
