Marie Antionette Harris

Growing up, a lifelong resident of Merced, CA; Antoinette, attended Alecia Reyes Elementary School, graduated from Tenaya Junior High School, and was a 2000 Alumni graduate of, Golden Valley High School.

Antoinette enjoyed spending time with her cousins and friends, doing arts and crafts, cooking, and was well known for her famous Banana Puddings that she would bring to family get togethers.

If you wanted someone to have a good time with and share a good laugh, Antoinette was the one to be with. Hearing Antoinette laugh always made you laugh even if you didn't find anything funny; she was a contagious laughter and her laugh infected every room she laughed in.

The greatest joy of Antoinette's life was being mother to her daughter, A'Nissa Dyana Ne'Vae Harris, who she affectionately nicknamed, VaeVae.

Antoinette lavished all her love on VaeVae, and watched her grow up, laughing at all the funny and crazy things she did, like, climbing up the walls at their Seneca Street Apartment, when VaeVae was little.

In 2005, Antoinette took a trip to Reno, Nevada to spend time with her sister. During this time, she meet Lenzie Harris, whom she would go on to marry on, October 17, 2009.

On October 4, 2022, Antoinette celebrated her 40th birthday by taking God's hand and walking with him into eternity.

She was preceded in death by her Mother, Diana Thrower, a niece, A'Nissa Mays, her grandmother, Lee Masie Harris, and many others.
