Lela June Harris, born June 7, 1928, in Shady Valley, TN, departed this life on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at Bristol Hospice House due to complications from a stroke.

Lela was preceded in death by her parents, Sommers and Runnie Minton Rutter, her husband, Hugh J. Harris, and ten brothers and sisters.
