In her younger years, Mrs. Garling worked for her mom at Chalmer's Cafe. She spent many years working as an aide at the hospitals in Monticello and Winamac. She made a career change - going to work for local accountant Bob Simpson - which led to her getting a job in the Pulaski County Auditor's Office, and she later served as county auditor from 2009-2016. She and her husband also owned and operated Gear Up Sports and Apparel in Winamac.  

She loved serving others, whether it was running her own business or serving the residents of Pulaski County. She was a member of Bethel Bible Church in Winamac. She loved spending time with her church family; together growing in the Lord. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. She was an avid reader and enjoyed shopping. She especially enjoyed attending the sporting events of her children and grandchildren. Spending time with her family brought great joy to her life. She also enjoyed traveling places with family and friends. She was a very social woman who did not know a stranger. Her warm smile and unique laugh made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. She will be dearly missed.

Visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, June 5, at Frain Mortuary, Winamac; and one hour prior to services at the church Thursday. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m., Thursday, June 6, at Bethel Bible Church, Winamac with Pastor Thomas Hopewell officiating. Burial will be at Buck Cemetery, Thornhope.
