Elizabeth Harrison
Elizabeth Harrison, 96, of Ellisville passed away Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024, one month after her 96th birthday at Jones County Rest Home in Ellisville. She was born Wednesday, Jan. 25, 1928, in Laurel.
According to her wishes the service will be graveside only at Salem Church in Wayne County beside her husband JL “Buddy” Harrison.
Services will be held Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 11 a.m. Brother Dave Moran will officiate. Ellisville Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
She loved Jesus and her family dearly and loved serving both. She is known for her beautiful quilting, crocheting, gardening but, most of all, cooking and hosting family gatherings. She was always humble, generous and was happy with less than she deserved. Her love ran deep no matter what. She will be dearly missed by those on Earth who truly loved her but now she is joyfully walking in Heaven.
She was preceded in death by her husband J. L. “Buddy” Harrison; father Leroy Walters; mother Susie Francis Griffin Walters; an infant sibling; brothers Buddy Walters and Charlie Walters; sisters Eva Stewart, Ora Lee Langston and Margaret Blackmon; brothers-in-law Thomas Stewart, Cecil Hodge, Leo Langston, Gene Blackmon and Billy Joe Waller.
