Dorothy Harrison Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Dorothy Harrison, 98, a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend to all who knew her, passed away on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Dorothy dedicated more than 30 years of service to Phillip Van Heusen, where she was known for her strong work ethic, dependability, and warm spirit. Her coworkers often spoke of her gentle nature and willingness to lend a helping hand without hesitation.

Above all else, Dorothy's greatest joy in life was her family. She was a doting mother and grandmother, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her self-sacrificing nature was unmatched-she would gladly do without so that those she loved could have more.

Those who knew Dorothy will remember her as someone who never had an unkind word to say about anyone. Her grace, compassion, and quiet humility touched countless lives and left a mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Margaret Ledford; son, James Harrison, and grandson, Eric Harrison, as well as several siblings.

Dorothy is survived by her son, Mark Harrison; grandchildren, Travis Harrison and Lindsey Harrison Nerren (Chad); great-grandchild, Hailey Schmidt, as well as sister, Sandy Lee.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, November 10, 2025 at 1 p.m. at Lakewood Memorial Gardens East with Pastor Michael Yates officiating.
