Greta Ann Garrett, has spent a majority of her life in Garden City, NY passed away on July 20, 2022, following a 15-month battle with pancreatic cancer, at the age of 51. She was the devoted mother of Jamie and Emily Besendorfer who brought her immense happiness and pride.

Greta was born in Rockville Centre, NY, on August 28, 1970, to James Garrett, who predeceased her, and MaryAnn Garrett. She graduated from the University of Richmond as well received her MBA from Hofstra University which allowed her to achieve a successful career at Pfizer. She recently retired after 30 years of employment. Greta had a large circle of close friends, many since childhood, and she loved hosting parties and gatherings. She had a true zest for life and was usually the life of the parties she threw and attended. Greta was a competitive swimmer at Garden City High School and the pool, and the beach continued to be her favorite places to relax. In addition to her beloved daughters and mother, Greta is survived by her brother Karl and his wife Tish of Rockville Centre, NY, her Aunt Helen Williams and her nephew and niece James and Emma Garrett.
