In an emotional tribute, Knight said she would always hear Garrett and her infectious laughter, before she saw her.
“Jane always stayed upright even when she wanted to fall. She always stayed fearsome even when she was consumed by fear,” Knight said. “And she always stayed the best, funniest, loudest, feisty and loyal friend you could ever have.”

While Grigorovitch said Garrett loved making people happy. “Jane radiated goodness, kindness, optimism and compassion,” the former secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union said.
A childhood friend of Garrett, musician Tim Rogers, performed a tribute song, Heavy Heart, at the service.
Garrett is survived by her children, Molly, 19, Sasha, 15 and Max, 10 and her husband, James.
Garrett was elected to the state seat of Brunswick in 2010, and elevated into cabinet as minister for emergency services, consumer affairs, and gaming and liquor regulation.
