Catheryn E. "Money" Harrison, 96, of Springdale, formerly of Atkins, died Tuesday, October 26, 2010, at The Maples at Har-ber Meadows Rehab Center. She was born October 31, 1913, in Atkins, the daughter of James William and Sallie Mae Boyd Matthews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, William Louie Harrison; two sisters, Gladys Matthews and Evelyn Britt; and a granddaughter, Jill Leigh Harrison.
She was a resident of Atkins for 89 years before moving to Springdale in 2002 to be with her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Catheryn was my husband's aunt and what a lively person she was. She would get excited about something and her eyes lit up like Christmas trees. She loved God, her family, and gardening and was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to all who knew her.
While she and her sister Lola were still living in Atkins, you would find them sitting in front of the television set together watching the Dallas Cowboys. They were great lovers of football. After moving apart, they would sometimes watch football while talking on the telephone together!
One of the more interesting things about Catheryn and her sisters was that the three who lived to adulthood had a birth range of about 9 years; however, the three sisters had their first child within 2 months of each other: the youngest had a daughter in May; the middle had a son in June, and the oldest had a son in July!
