Kathleen Garriss Wells, 92, of Watha passed peacefully from her earthly life on Friday, July 24, 2015 at her home.
She was born June 3, 1923 in Pender County, the daughter of Luther and Ida Wheeler Garriss. She was preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, Baxter Wells and sisters, Edith Sherman and Doris Garriss.
