Ruby Jean Harrington

Mrs. Harrington, affectionately known as “Sis” to all who knew her, started her career with Goldsmith Department Store in the food services division, and she retired from the Orange Mound Daycare Center as the Head Nutritionist. She was a member of South Parkway East Church of Christ.

Sis is preceded in death by her husband Eddie Lee Harrington, Sister Lydia M. Fossett, and Brothers Booker T. Fossett Jr. and Dewitt Fossett.

She leaves to cherish her memory: Sister-in-Law Easter Fossett of Collierville TN. Nieces, Sandra K. Fossett of Virginia Beach, VA; Glenda Fossett-Lewis, Jackie Lawrence and Shelia Fossett of Memphis, TN. Nephews, Tilton (Leslie) Fossett of Frisco, TX; Cedric (Jackie) Fossett, Dexter Fossett, Shawn Fossett, Michael Fossett, Booker T. Fossett III of Memphis, TN; and Micheal A. (Triniere) Newborn and Jerry Burnett of Southaven, MS. She also leaves a host of Great-Nieces & Nephews along with a very special childhood friend Ms. Adella Morris of Memphis, TN

The Family would also like to acknowledge and express our heartfelt gratitude to Sis’s care team who lovingly tended to her every need as her health declined over the past 2 years. Special thanks to Dearn Woodard, Nadine Woodard, Tammie Price, Miriam Butler, Renell Mathews and Jewelstine Yancey. We could not have done this without your love and care.

Family and friends will hold a graveside service on November 18, 2023, at Memphis Memory Gardens, 6444 Raleigh LaGrange Road, Memphis, TN 38134 at 11:00 AM.
