Lois Dean Harris Higgins, Age 83, of Johnson City, departed her loving family and earthly home to enter Heaven's gates and meet Jesus on June 17, 2021.
Born and raised in Flag Pond, TN, to the late Clay and Jennie Phillips Harris, Mrs. Higgins was loved and cherished by family, friends, and strangers alike. She enjoyed reading her Bible, gardening, cooking, and serving others.
As a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Johnson City for many years, she cooked countless meals for the community. People came from far and wide just to taste her chicken 'n dumplings, roast and gravy, and banana pudding, to name a few. Known to most as simply "Mamaw Higgins", her sweet spirit could draw anyone close. Her love of Jesus was always apparent. She not only shared her faith through words, she shared it in the way she lived her life, always thinking of others, praying for them, and feeding them- both physically and spiritually. She had a way of making everyone in her path feel like they were special. Condolences to her "favorite", you know who you are....
