Luella Garner passed June 22, 2024, at age 94. She left home in Idaho at age 19 to embark on a 72-year journey with her husband Lee.
They became business owners in Reno, NV, the most remembered of which was the Chocolate Pit. When they decided to leave the city, they bought the Spud Nut shop in Fallon. They remodeled, added on, and once again built a thriving restaurant, The Cock N Bull.
Luella is remembered for her pancakes, waffles, and chili. Her pies were very much loved, baking 58 of them one holiday. She received a write-up in a magazine comparing her pies to Marie Callender's. Quite a compliment!
In her spare time, she knitted or crocheted, constantly creating many beautiful things.
Luella is preceded in death by her husband, Lee Garner; she is survived by one sister, two children, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Luella will be greatly and deeply missed by those who were lucky enough to be a part of her journey.
A graveside committal will be held on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 9 a.m. at the Fallon Cemetery.
