Loree Kaye Garriott, 48, passed away on April 25, 2026. She was born on August 27, 1977, in Jacksonville, Illinois.  

Loree made her home in Heber Springs, Arkansas, where she shared 32 wonderful years of marriage with her husband and lived close to the family she cherished so deeply. Her greatest joy in life was being a wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. Nothing mattered more to her than the people she loved, and she never missed an opportunity to show up for them-whether it was a ballgame, graduation, birthday, or any special moment in between.  

She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Garriott; her parents, Randy Burmingham and Julee Reno; her siblings, Randy “Bud” Burmingham and his children, Kaylee Chatfield (Chadd) and their children and Renee Kunzeman-Stucker and her children; Levi Garriott (Misty) and Emalee Jaco (Conner); and her treasured grandchildren, Brantley, Braxton, Livee, Alliee, Sawyer, Oaklee, Ellie, Drake, Karhlee, Jaxson, Mazelynn. She was also deeply proud of her grandmother, Kaye Reno, and the family legacy of love that surrounded her.  

Loree was preceded in death by her grandfather, Lewis Reno; son-in-law, Hunter Ross; brother-in-law, KP; granddaughter, Landree Ann Jaco; and her in-laws, Paul and Bonnie Garriott.  

Loree was a woman of strong faith and a steadfast belief in God. She lived her life with compassion, generosity, and grace, always putting the needs of others before her own. She had a special passion for animals and found joy caring for her miniature cow farm, while never hesitating to help anyone with their own animals whenever needed. She also loved to travel and treasured the memories made attending concerts with her daughter. She especially enjoyed laughing with her son and holding the hand of her husband.  

Those who knew Loree will forever remember her quick wit, contagious laugh, and the remarkable way she made everyone feel seen, heard, and valued. Her selfless heart and loving spirit touched countless lives, and her presence will be missed beyond measure.  

Though our hearts are broken, we celebrate a life so beautifully lived and a woman so deeply loved. Loree’s love, laughter, and legacy will continue on through her family and all who were blessed to know her.
