She also loved her church family and cherished the years she attended Summit Holiness Church and the great many friendships developed, especially Mrs. Vada Gentry. She served the Lord teaching Sunday School for 40 years. As long as possible, she and Mr. Harris attended every Sunday and Wednesday and every camp meeting and special function at the church.
The family expresses our heartfelt thanks to the caregivers who made her so comfortable during the last days of her life on earth. Marilyn Richard, Gretta Wells, Hattie Mae Lewis, Susie Drayton, Doretha Howard, Barbara Patterson, and Cheryl Houser. We could not have made it without you. Thank you.
