Lillian D. Harris

April 5, 1949 - December 25, 2020

Our precious mother, Lillian Darlene Harris (Alexander/Loper), age 71, passed away on December 25, 2020. She devoted most of her life to her children and grandchildren as a homemaker and so much more to those who knew her. She was a 1967 Graduate of Chester High School and had a brief career working for Mackie Automatic Coin Vending Company and Roaman’s Women’s Apparel Company. She is survived by her five children, who made up the entirety of her world - Yvonne Loper-Graves, Dionne Loper, Evonne Loper, Benjamin Loper IV, and Desirae Harris. Her seven grandchildren, Jasmine, Danielle, Aliyah, Arianna, Te’A, Andre Jr. and Mar’Quis. She was the oldest girl in a family of six and leaves behind her brothers Verlin Alexander, Andrew Alexander, and Thomas Alexander; and her sisters Janet Brown and Cynthia Yarbrough. Her husband of 30+ years, Jerome Harris pre-deceased her in 2019. Her parents Henry & Lillie Belle Gordy are also deceased. Ms. Dot, as she was affectionately known by many also leaves behind numerous children who have adopted her as their 2nd mother. She also leaves behind a host of aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
