Alta Harrison Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 22, 2019.
Alta Jane Harrison, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, March 21, 2019. She was born September 21, 1933 in Summersville.
Jane was a retired caregiver and a member of Big Bottom Baptist Church. She was an avid West Virginia Mountaineer football fan and loved being with her family, friends and fellow church members, who will all miss her companionship and the way she gave of herself.
Jane's faith sustained her through many tough medical challenges, exhibiting time and again the power of God's healing hand. She became the "Miracle Mother" to her family and church congregation. She will now be reunited with family and friends that preceded her.
Preceded in death by husband, Clifford A. Harrison; parents, Willie Ames Grose and Kathleen Hanshaw Grose; son, Gary Wayne Powell; grandson, Todd Powell; and several brothers and sisters.
Survived by brother, Lewis Russell Grose; daughters, Carolyn Schwarz (Todd) and Debbie Skiles (Greg); son, Robert Powell; grandchildren, Jeremy Skiles (Megan), Kara Spencer (David) and Matthew Schwarz; and six great-grandchildren.
Special thanks to caregiver and friend, Karen Tolbert, Pastor Fred Christian, her extended church family, CAMC and St. Francis medical and nursing staff.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held 1:00 p.m. Monday, March 25, 2019, at Big Bottom Baptist Church, 1259 Campbells Creek Drive, Charleston, West Virginia 25306, with Pastor Fred Christian officiating. The private interment will be at the Rock Spring Cemetery, Kenna.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, March 24, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Stevens & Grass Funeral Home, Malden, and one hour prior to the service on Monday at the Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Jane's honor to Big Bottom Baptist Church.
