Tip Harris Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was a teacher by profession and a leader by nature. She guided us all through example. She was never short on words, but her most lasting lessons were the ones she taught through the way she lived. She was a champion of the children of Mount Gilead and the number of lives she impacted is immeasurable.
She is survived by her loving husband Larry, sons Robert and Austin, daughters-in-law Melissa and Nikki and granddaughters Cole, Elli and Sarah. She is preceded in death by her parents John Douglas and Frances Shankle McColl and sister Frances McColl Gable.
In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a charitable fund in her name. Please make donations to The Tip Harris Arts and Benevolence Fund by sending a check to:
