Patricia Harrison Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 15, 2025.
Patricia Ann (DeLano) Harrison, born in Pontiac, Michigan, on June 15, 1935, passed away peacefully at her home in Ortonville, Michigan on August 6, 2025 at the age of 90. Patricia was the daughter of the late Richard and Margaret DeLano. To honor her wishes, cremation has taken place.

Patricia is survived by her daughter; Christie (Lewis) Kojima, her two sons; Brian Harrison, and Matthew (Kim) Harrison, her daughter-in-law; Debbie Harrison, her grandchildren, Mallory and Kelly Harrison, Celia (AJ) Collins, Abbey and Bridget Kojima, Kade and Kole Harrison as well as six great-grandchildren.

Patricia is preceded in death by her beloved husband of seventy years, Donald Harrison, her son; Donald Scott Harrison of Holly, Michigan and her brother Richard DeLano Jr.

Patricia enjoyed spending time with her family, swimming, fishing and picking blueberries at their cabin on the boundary waters of Northern Minnesota. She also enjoyed watching the deer, sandhill cranes and many birds at her home, and she loved watching the Detroit Tigers baseball games. Patricia was the sweetest Granny anyone could ask for and loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Patricia retired from the Brandon School District after many years of teaching at Belle Ann Elementary. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to your local Humane Society in Honor of Patricia Harrison. A Memorial Service for Patricia will be announced at a later date.

Our condolences to the Harrison family. Pat was my mom´s best friend for 75 years. They stayed in contact regularly, checking in on the families and the tigers. Always enjoyed visiting them as kids and have great memories of them in the house in birdland. Brian ladd

To the Harrison Family, Pat was one of the dearest ladies I have had the privilege to know. I work with her at Belle Ann Elementary and she always displayed kindness and thoughtfulness. We had some great times together with staff and family. We both had husbands involved in the Electrical Trade and our family activities/events were always fun to share. She struggled with her illness for many years and although I had not seen her of late, we did go to lunch on occasion while she lived with her family. I had a special love for her and will treasure fond memories.
With sincere sympathy,
Ruth Rogan
