Morgan and her sister, Terri Robinson, said they could go on about what made their mother special.
"She was a caregiver, our friend, our advocate ... a strong advocate," said Robinson.
Officials with the South Fulton Police Department in Georgia said Singleton was arrested at a Walmart around 11 a.m. Police said they received a call from a citizen who recognized Singleton.
Dior Singleton, was not abducted from the home where the homicide occurred, according to police. Dior was with his mother when they came to Clayton and eventually left with her.
The child was not harmed, officials said.
"Why would someone do this -- allegedly do this to their grandmother? Those are the questions we have as well," said Morgan.
"Obviously, you can imagine how we might be feeling knowing that our niece is involved in this," said Morgan.
Family members said they're holding on to beautiful memories that made Gaither the "world's greatest grandma."
"She would go to the pool with them to late in the afternoon [and] fix sandwiches. They would just have the best time," added Morgan.
Singleton is expected to be transported to Fulton County Jail and booked on fugitive hold.
Officials said family members are expected to pick up Dior Singleton.
