Mrs. Garritt graduated from Upper Dublin High School, where she met her future husband, Douglas Garritt. She graduated from the Chestnut Hill Hospital School of Radiological Technology and then joined the hospital staff as a radiology technologist. For more than 20 years, she had been a mammography technician in the hospital's Women's Health Center, which provides health screenings, diagnostic and clinical services, and support groups for women.

Mrs. Garritt received the hospital's Malenckrodt Award for Outstanding Performance.

In addition to her children, Mrs. Garritt is survived by her parents, Warren and Mary Killoran; three brothers; and three sisters.
