Doris Harris

Dee was born on November 21, 1944, in Blackwell, Oklahoma. She was the youngest of four sisters. She met and married the love of her life, Alvin Henry Harris Jr. in Tucson, Az. in 1964. The two lived in Arizona over the past 30 years, but she always had strong connections to her Oklahoma roots. She was a loving and supportive mother to her children Sherry and Kevin, and a doting grandmother to Abby, Travis, and Ben. She has five great-grandchildren Kyler, Alizabell, Kayden, Whyatt, and Zoe.

Dee was a ray of sunshine as a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She will always be remembered for her kind heart, warm smile, generosity, love for helping others, and compassion for animals. She enjoyed family time painting and baking with the kids, playing in the pool, boating, fishing, and letting her grandchildren drive her around in the golf cart on the property. She saw the best in people and always offered support and hope for them to become the best they could be.

There will be a virtual visitation and service on Monday, January 11th, at 1 pm.

East Lawn Palms Mortuary & Cemetery, 5801 E. Grant Road, Tucson

A drive-by remembrance for Dee and Al will also be held on Monday, January 11th, from 9 am – 4 pm @ Woodstock Builders Inc 3201 E. 47th Street, Tucson, Az.

A celebration of life gathering will follow when it is safe to congregate.

In Lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in their name to Donation: Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Al and Dee both shared a tremendous love for animals and showed their compassion for them whenever they could. They would be grateful to know donations have been given to help the many animals in need.

Remember this, those we love can never be more than a thought away…. for as long as there is a memory and love, they live in our hearts to stay.
