Barbara Harris Obituary
Sis. Barbara Jean was a sweet-spirited person with a beautiful smile. Her smile and laughter would light up any room that she entered. She had a passion for cooking and she enjoyed her family and friends to the upmost. Sis. Barbara Jean truly was the life of a party. She loved to dance and loved watching her western shows. She loved her Pepsi-Colas, potato chips and tootsie roll pops, which were her favorite snacks. She was an avid Washington Redskins (Commanders) fan.
Sis. Barbara Jean accepted Christ in her life. She was a member of Goodwill Baptist Church, located in Hampton, Virginia. Some years ago, she participated with the Usher Board. She was a true believer of God's word and believed in the power of prayer.
Sis. Barbara Jean leaves to cherish her precious memories: two children: Barbara Smith (James) and Joseph Harris, IV of Hampton, Virginia; three sisters:
Cynthia Picott and Linda Pretlow of Hampton, Virginia and Sylvia Pretlow of Fayetteville, North Carolina; two brothers: George Pretlow of South Carolina and Douglas Pretlow (Michaelle) of Atlanta, Georgia; four grandchildren: Antonio Harris, RaeQuan Harris, Kendra Jennings and Timothy Watson, all of Hampton, Virginia; seven great-grandchildren: Skylar Harris, A'Nyah Campbell, Future Watson, TyLethia Atkins, Aleesia Watson, Rio Harris all of Newport News, Virginia and Koa Harris of Hampton, Virginia; one great-great grandson: Josaahn Watson of Newport News, Virginia; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
