Willie Harris Obituary
Being raised in the Perry Hill Community, William attended the Orange County School System and was a graduate of Orange High School. Early in life he attended White Cross AME Church and sang with the Choir. For many years he was a dedicated employee of K&W Cafeteria. Willie was truly a people person and found great joy in making flowers grow. He also loved a good game of basketball, either playing or watching. He will be truly missed.
He leaves loving and lasting memories to his mother: Joanna McGhee Harris; three children: Lashana Harris Corbett (Justin), Laura Rudd Corbett (LaVelle) and Lorenzo Rudd; the mother of his children Jennifer Rudd; 13 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; four siblings: Tony Harris (Brenda), Wayne Harris, Christie Graves and Tina Harris.
In his passing he now joins his father James William Harris and a brother Leon Harris.
