Renee Harrison Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Affordable Burial & Cremation Service - Austin Area on Dec. 12, 2025.
Renee passed away in October after a courageous battle with cancer, and after a lifelong career in nursing, she wasn't a fan of being a patient.

She was a wife, proud grandmother of five, mother of three, Army veteran, beach-lover, and avid crafter. Renee lived a life marked by compassion, creativity, service, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect fabric sale. As an ICU and Hospice nurse, she cared deeply for others and brought comfort to countless patients and families.

Outside of her service and career, Renee found endless joy in crafting-especially quilting. She created beautiful quilts and handmade gifts for everyone she loved.

Renee always had a family dog at her side-each one she personally trained to be polite, loyal, and more than slightly spoiled.

Renee is survived by Bill, her husband of 37 years (who now has no idea what all those sewing machine attachments do), her three children, five grandchildren, and a mountain of fabric. She loved a beautiful beach and will be dearly missed by family and friends-especially whenever we're near the ocean, where we know she'd be collecting seashells, or brainstorming a new quilt pattern inspired by the waves.
