Norma Harris Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Davis-Becker Funeral Home - Boardman on Feb. 27, 2026.
New Springfield- Norma "Jean" Harris, 91, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in the comforts of her home.

Born November 23, 1934, in Columbus, Ohio, Jean was the daughter of the late Norman Edward and Ada Mildred (Goughnour) Dash

.

On February 1, 1950, Jean married the love of her life, David "Bill" Harris. The two shared 58 beautiful years of marriage until Bill's passing in 2008.

Family was the center of Jean's world. Affectionately known as "Nana," she never missed a family gathering and treasured every moment spent with her loved ones. She loved playing card games, Yahtzee, and dominos, and could often be found watching her favorite game shows. Jean enjoyed mini golf outings, trips to the casino, and, most especially, indulging her sweet tooth - dessert was never complete without pie and ice cream. She was selfless, always putting others before herself, and her home was filled with love, laughter, and often a few beloved fur babies.

Jean leaves to cherish her memory of her children, Sandra Cain of New Middletown, Ohio, Judy Weaver of Justin, Texas, Gary (Bonnie Broussard) Harris of Nevada, and Terri (Bob) Szelazek, of Petersburg, Ohio. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Stacey (Dale) Wofford; Duane (Karla) Harris, Jessica Harris, Kari (Dave) Washburn, Brooke (Matt) Karas, Robert Szelazek, Zachary (Barbara) Cain, and Joshua Cain; along with ten great-grandchildren and several cherished pets.

In addition to her parents, Jean was preceded in death by her husband, David "Bill" Harris; her son, Mark Harris; and eight siblings.

Calling hours will be held on Monday, March 2, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Davis-Becker Funeral Homes, 8536 Market St., Boardman, Ohio, and again on Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service at 11:00 a.m. at the Evangel Baptist Church, 5248 Southern Blvd, Youngstown, OH 44512.
