In Loving Memory of Willie Bell Harris (nee Bryant)

Born January 25, 1924, in High Point, North Carolina, Willie Bell Harris passed away peacefully at the age of 101, surrounded by family. A devoted mother, grandmother, and caregiver, she spent her life caring for others—with compassion, quiet strength, and deep faith.

She worked for many years with Family Services and continued to serve even after retirement, volunteering and nurturing multiple generations of her family. A woman of unwavering faith, she was a longtime Sunday School teacher and cherished member of her church communities.

Willie Bell was celebrated on her 100th birthday by local and national leaders, including the mayors of Milwaukee and High Point, as well as President Joe Biden. Her legacy of love, service, and faith lives on in all who were blessed to know her.
