Family: I was married almost 59 years to the late Bill Harris, Sr. We have two children: Susan Bailey, and Dr. Bill Harris, Jr. I have five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Occupation: Retired after 24 years at Landmark Pharmacy.

Volunteer activities: I have been a choir member at East Union Missionary Baptist Church for almost all my life. I am an active member of the Lydia Circle and the Day-Ladies Bible Study. Over the years, I’ve served as the Sunday School secretary, Sunday School teacher, and the superintendent of the Junior Department. I’m a past-president of East End Schools PTA and Cub Scout den mother.

Hobbies: I am a charter member of the East End Book Club. I enjoy reading and working in my flowers.

Three guests at my fantasy dinner: Bill (my late husband) and my parents, Will and Annie Haynes.

Dream vacation destiny: I’ve been so fortunate to travel to so many places in the United States, but I would like to revisit Niagara Falls.

Favorite athlete or sport: I love basketball, but I also enjoy football.

Last book I read: I am currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am also reading The 2012 Daily Bible Reading Calendar which takes you through the Bible in one year.

My favorite food or meal: Steak is my favorite food.

Dogs or cats? Dogs.

What fun fact about you would most people be surprised to learn? The excitement level I experience while watching college basketball games.
