Mary Jo Harris
March 24, 1931 — November 27, 2008
Mary Jo Harris of Mt. Pleasant was born on March 24, 1931 and passed peacefully into Heaven on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008. Mary Jo left behind 77 years of memories for her family and friends. She loved deeply, laughed loudly, and welcomed all who enjoyed the comfort of her home. All who knew her enjoyed her feisty and unfiltered sense of humor, her joy of cooking, her love of animals, and her generosity of spirit. Thanksgiving Day had special meaning for Mary Jo due to her love of family and appreciation of her own blessings. The holiday will have new meaning for those who will celebrate her life each time they remember her warmth and laughter.

She was dearly loved by her grandchildren, Tamyra, Tim, Lindsay, Ashley, Kyle, Carrie Eric, and Jesse. She was also the proud great-grandmother to Gavin Colie, Zach, and Reese; and two great-great- granddaughters, Candace and Carleigh. She also cared deeply for the many nieces and nephews that were part of her extended family.
