Garry Lee Cummins

Garry Lee Cummins, age 80, passed away on June 1, 2024, at IU Health Methodist Hospital.
On September 17, 1943, Garry was born to Cash and Vera (Barker).
Garry was a former electrician at the Chrysler Transmission plant in Kokomo. He was employed there for 40 years before his retirement. Following retirement, he had a few opportunities to do a little traveling with his wife. He first went on an Alaskan cruise, and then they decided to take another cruise to the Caribbean. Garry also made a few trips to see his daughter and her family in Arkansas.
Locally, he enjoyed going to auctions and rummage sales looking for treasures from the past. At home, Garry enjoyed working on his flower beds and working in his yard. He also enjoyed hanging out with his golden doodle, Riley.
For most of Garry's adult life, his focus for himself and his family was his Faith in Jesus Christ. He loved to share his faith and he took part in the local prison ministry as well as some involvement in the Gideons until his health wouldn't allow him to continue. Garry was a member of Oasis Community Church in Tipton, IN
