For the first time in six de- cades, her husband, Jim, is no longer there to make her afternoon tea or dance with her in the living room. No longer can the dull rise and fall of Jim's breathing apparatus be heard throughout their ranch-style home near Ellettsville, the sound made necessary by Jim's debilitating chronic obstructive pulmonary dis- ease, commonly known as COPD. Beryl, a 4-foot-nothing English- woman raised in London during the German Blitzkrieg of World War II, became Jim's caretaker after his diagnosis in 2013. As Jim declined physically, thin- ning out from 185 pounds to just above 130, his mind began to wan- der, unable at times to grasp reality. At night, he'd thrash and kick off his sheets. He said nasty things, a byproduct of his disease and the confusion it wrought. Beryl barely slept, hearing her name called nearly every five minutes. "Beryl, Beryl, Beryl" bounced off the walls, covered in photos of grandchildren and knickknacks from grand adventures. During the day, Jim often needed assistance going to the bathroom or getting up after a fall. He would become unaware of where he was but still be certain that he needed Beryl by his side. The former Air Force man, a son of South Bend and a long- time employee of the Indiana Bell Telephone Co., at other times was remarkably cognizant, reminiscing about their adventures in London, Germany, Michigan City, Indianapo- lis, Columbus and Branson, Mis- souri, where the couple retired and palled around with celebrities. The couple moved to Monroe County in 2004 to be closer to their three sons and their families. Over the past year, Jim's condi- tion deteriorated to the point that he and his physician decided he needed hospice care. Last April, Jim entered the IU Health Hospice House, and the fam- ily prepared for him to die.

At a ceremony in the Indiana Memorial Union's Alumni Hall on Saturday, Garrett was honored with the dedication of a state historical marker, the first one to be located on IU's campus. At the top of the ceremo- ny, Provost Lauren Robel said, "because of him we are a more open, inclusive and accepting community." Robel said that just as basket- ball is the beating heart of Indiana and of many of the traditions at IU, Garrett was and is the beating heart of the basketball program and university we know today.
