Sis. Mattie Pearl Jarrett was born May, 24, 1938, in Talbot County to the late Jim Henry Huff and Ida Mae Huff.  She departed life on Tuesday, February 20, 2020, at Piedmont Regional Hospital.  Mattie passed through the veil called “death” into the life, which is everlasting.  Her loving and caring voice was silenced as she entered into eternal rest.
