For many years after retirement, she was a substitute teacher for Orangeburg School District #4 and #5.
She was born on November 14, 1935, to the late Elliott and Adell Harrison. She served God faithfully and was a lifetime member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church where she served as Sunday School Superintendent.
