Sue Harrison

Sue Harrison was born on February 22, 1944, in Seymour, Texas alongside her twin brother, George Sam Bass. She passed away at her home in Oglesby, Texas on April 4, 2026, at the age of 82. Sue had a private visitation on Tuesday, April 14th, 2026, at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funerals and Cremations preceding her cremation.

Sue’s whole life changed for the best when she first met her husband, Larry Allen Harrison, while she was working as a waitress in McGregor. Their marriage of 59 years came with 5 children, and a family that would grow into a united, humorous, at-times wild, yet unmistakenly lovable bunch that mastered the art of cynical joy.

In life, Sue spent many years working at Smead Manufacturing, highlighting her profound work ethic and desire to provide for her family. She was also a master seamstress and retained this talent for throughout the rest of her life. A rightfully self-proclaimed “voracious reader,” Sue was additionally known for reading all kinds of books. Her favorite author was Terry Pratchett. She also had a love for pursuing knowledge, particularly in history, and enjoyed documentaries amongst science fiction works.

In 2001, Sue moved into a then-recently built trailer home in Oglesby, Texas with her husband. “We chose it because my oldest granddaughter, who was just a little baby at the time, loved it so much!” she loved to tell. There, her immediate grandchildren would spend much of their childhood, and crown her with the affectionate nickname she loved, “Nana.” After the passing of her husband in 2020, Sue was surrounded by her remaining children and grandchildren- quite literally. Her youngest son and middle granddaughter moved in with her, and her daughters had their own trailer homes placed on the property to be shared with their husbands. Sue welcomed her family happily and was greatly delighted to be kept company after such a loss.

Even in her later years, Sue continued to work around the house, finding comfort in caring for her family and enjoyment in providing wild birds with chicken scratch and hummingbird feeders. She was renowned for her kindness, keeping in touch with her friends and relatives from afar, and loved to visit with those she saw on the rare occasion, thus never letting a moment pass without expressing her appreciation for those she knew personally.

Lastly, Sue was known for her undeniable faith in Jehovah. She was a devoted member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and would frequently pray, listen to/watch the JW Watchtower broadcasts, collect JW books and magazines, tune into her Kingdom Hall’s services through Zoom, and speak about the Resurrection, where she would be reunited with her husband and sons.

Sue was preceded in death by her son, Dean Allen Harrison, her son, Samuel Lee Harrison, and her husband, Larry Allen Harrison.

Survivors include: her daughter, Lesa Diane Harrison-Moss and husband Doyle Wayne Moss, her son Cristopher Robin Harrison, her daughter, Amber Harrison-Moss and husband Eric Moss, grandchildren Clayton Dean Nelson, James Neil Nelson, Gabriella Marie Olivarez and partner Leopoldo Torres, Jr., Rachel Elaine Olivarez, Daniella Jayne Olivarez, and the many loved ones of her vast extended family.

May our beloved Sue rest peacefully until we see her again.
