Taylor Lea Harris, a tantalizing array of sunshine, was born on February 24, 2001 to Katetria Evon Jackson Harris and the late Tommie Lee Harris, Jr., in Columbus, Mississippi. Taylor was talented, talkative, tenacious, thrilling, and trendy. She left a tremendous impact on everyone whom she came in contact. Taylor accepted our Lord and Savior and began her Christian journey. She united with Stephens Chapel M.B. Church, and began equipping herself with the biblical and spiritual tools needed to travel her pathway. On Sunday, August 27, 2017, Taylor’s earthly journey ended, and she entered into eternal rest.
Adored by all, Taylor had a bold, bright personality that was captivating. She was a senior at Columbus High School where she brought laughter and cheer to all she encountered. She brightened the days of her classmates, teachers, administrators, coaches and teammates. While on her journey she left her footprints throughout the many organizations and her endeavors. She was a member of the B.E.T.A. Club, National Honor Society, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.), 2017 Softball Homecoming Sweetheart, and member of the varsity softball team.
Youthfulness, determination, and exuberance were qualities she possessed to keep her focused. Taylor enjoyed worship and fellowship with other congregations throughout the community. She truly displayed “being a doer of the Word” by showing others we are “better together” regardless of our differences. Her passion to help others extended to her desire to graduate early and become a registered nurse. She was an aspiring future medical professional, self-proclaimed makeup artist, fashionista who loved shopping, and a sports enthusiast. Taylor’s self-motivation prompted her to pursue dual enrollment and the medical technician course.
Long awaiting her arrival, she was received with open arms by her father; paternal grandfather, Johnny L. Jackson; maternal great-grandparents, Willie James and Florence Phinizee Harris; and paternal great-grandparents, James and Ruthie Thompson.
Outgoing and willing to give of herself so that her light would shine to uplift others was her style and her gift. She was bold enough to speak her mind and confident enough to make it happen. Her presence was always noticed when she entered spiritual gatherings. Her faith, belief, and strength were demonstrated as she comforted others despite her personal trials.
Radiant was her smile as she filled any room or space when she entered. Taylor will be forever loved, cherished, and remembered by her mother, Katetria Harris; siblings, Quincy Harris, Christopher Jackson, and Dyesha Jackson all of Columbus; maternal grandmother, Betty Jackson; paternal grandmother, Catherine Harris, paternal grandfather, Tommie Lee Harris, Sr.; great-grandmother, Virginia Peoples; two nieces, Leyah and Adalynn Jackson; godsister, Chelsea Wells; godbrothers, Martin Sherrod and Styvis Latham, all of Columbus; aunts, Lillie Jackson, Brianna Jackson, Terrica Chandler and Takeita Hampton; uncles, Damon Harris, Darryl Harris, Sedrick Jackson and Jarquin Hunter; and numerous great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins and close friends.
