Notes for Reta Elaine FADDIS
Reta Elaine Garrett, 80, of Thorndale, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, December 11, 2017 at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. She was the wife of the late Rev. Robert P. Garrett Sr., who died in 2007. Born in Parkesburg, she was the daughter of the late James V. Faddis and Reta Mae Werntz Faddis.
Elaine was a graduate of Philadelphia College of the Bible, and owner of Garrett Flooring Materiels, LLC in Thorndale, PA.
As a young person she was a member of Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church where she was also married. Along with her husband and oldest son, she co-founded Praise Fellowship Church - a ministry with a strong regional impact for 29 years. In the last couple of years Rev. Elaine served as pastor of Love Alive Fellowship in Coatesville. Her influence for the Gospel is far reaching and her ministry and mission work took her to over 25 nations.
She is survived by five children; Robert and wife Kimberly, David and wife Sandra, Philip and wife Martha, Stephen and wife Milissa, and Reta and husband Owen Watkins, 17 beautiful grandchildren and one older brother Leon Faddis of Reeds Springs, MO. She was preceded in death by one sister Ethel M. Constable, and one brother James Faddis.
Elaine’s love for Jesus and for people was tangible and contagious, so much so that many people affectionately called her “Mom.” It was always her desire that everyone she met come to know the love of God deeply and personally through a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. Her passion for God expressed through her compelling stories, relevant Bible teaching and songs of worship were trademarks of her life.
