Mrs. Harris passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

She had a gift for making others feel welcome and never hesitated to help someone in need. One of her greatest joys was being Nana, a role she cherished deeply. Marian was active in her community and a faithful member of the Central Church of Christ.
