Obituary of Connie Sue Harris

Connie Sue Harris, born on September 11, 1969 in Alexandria, LA, has peacefully passed away and went to be with the Lord in Heaven on January 23, 2021 at the age of 51. She was predeceased by her mother, Dorothy Wiley; her father, Phillip Barron; her grandmother, Vera Barron; and her godfather, Larry Grimm. Connie is survived by her loving husband of thirty years, Herbert "Herbie" Harris and her daughter, Erin Harris Jones and husband, Bryan; and her godmother who raised her for 35 years, Elaine Grimm. She is lovingly remembered by her three grandchildren: Camryn Hodges, Cash Jones and Katy Jones. Her brothers: James Barron, Joe Barron and wife, Crystal, and Matt Grimm; her sisters: Ginger Grimm Paul and Teresa Nelson. Her best friend, Melissa Eubanks; friend and Pastor, Betsy Honeycutt, John and Andy; family friend, Richard Meredith and family. Her nephews: Michael Banes, Dylan Brown, Justin Grimm, and Kody Harris; nieces: Brittany Hyde, Tessa Young, Krista Harper, Tara Grimm, and Megan Grimm. Her goddaughter, Jessica Borden; her godson, Connor Saxon and his mother, Sandra Saxon. Connie worked for LaSalle Parish Schools for ten years. Connie was also a small business owner in Olla, LA for over five years. She also worked for the Centennial Cultural Center in Olla. Connie had such a large heart, she always felt the need to step-in and help anyone she could in the community. She loved her students and donated much of her time uplifting people of all ages. She loved her grandchildren, family, friends and God. If you ever witnessed my mother's laugh, then you know it was contagious. If you ever heard my mother say the words, I love you, know that when she loved, she loved with everything in her. If she believed in you, encouraged you or prayed for you, she loved you. If you witnessed my mother fight for you, know that she only fought for what she believed in, so she believed in you. If you witnessed my mother's strength and determination through life's triumphs, know that in the end she gave it her all. She may not be with us now but she is watching over us in heaven. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, any condolences or gifts may be sent to the family at 269 Cat Island Dr., Columbia, LA 71418.
