Each one had a name and she enjoyed showing them off and introducing them to everyone. She was a faithful member of Terza Methodist Church, since 1965, and was a kind lady, devoted wife, nurturing mother, and loving grandmother.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving family, which includes, her husband, Lamar Harris of Batesville; one daughter, Sherry Cook (Larry) of Batesville and one stepdaughter, Tonya Hylander (Brandon) of Walls; one son, Howard Tindell (Robin) of Saltillo and one stepson, Ray Harris (Martha) of Cary, NC; eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
