Mrs. Harris was an excellent seamstress. Her love for sewing brought her much happiness due to the many people she met through her alteration business and the many handmade crafts she created. She had the gift of a green thumb and received much pleasure from her flowers and garden. But, her first love was to sing Gospel music. She had a beautiful alto voice which she used to praise her Lord and Savior throughout her life. She sang for many years with her siblings and was a member of the Northwest Union Quartet for over a dozen years.
