Patricia Anna Harris, 72, of Louisville transitioned on Sunday, June 22, 2025.

Visitation 10-12 Friday, June 27, 2025, at Forest Tabernacle Baptist Church 4205 E. Indian Trail. Funeral to follow at 12 noon. Burial Petersburg-Newburg Cemetery.

Patricia Anna Harris was born July 10, 1952 to Richard Fields and Evelyn Bell. It was Evelyn Bell and her husband, Luther Bell, who were the parents that cultivated the early beginnings of Patricia's life. She was the oldest of four children.

Patricia was a proud graduate of Central High School. After graduation, she later moved to Ohio, attended Cosmetology School, and became a Beautician.
Her trade as a beautician was a blessing to her Aunt, because Patricia was able to use her skills and be an asset working in her aunt's beauty salon.

Patricia's Christian journey started early in her life, and the final leg of her journey was being a faithful member of Forest Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Being called a "Queen" of all trades, described Patricia perfectly. She was always gainfully employed, with jobs ranging from Pre-School Teacher, warehouse employee, and even a brief career at Central State.

Patricia, known to most as Momma or Aunt Pat, was the matriarch of her family, and a pillar of her community. She welcomed everyone with love, support, encouragement, and an open heart. She was always ready to lend a listening ear, and offer sound and wise words of wisdom. She was definitely a "people person", who rarely met a stranger. If you were a stranger in the beginning, you were not a stranger to Patricia for very long.

Patricia lived a full life of fun, family gatherings and travel. She was the life of the party, the entertainer, the one who made you feel comfortable in her midst. She found enjoyment in playing cards, and was a serious player. With all of this being said, Patricia's greatest joy was the love she had for her children.

Sadly, on Sunday, June 22, 2025, Patricia Harris was called to her rest. She leaves to cherish her memories, her legacy of truth and laughter, her children, Tracy Harris and Montez Harris; grandchildren, Jasmine Harris, Demetrius Harris, Jr., LaTearean Dunkerson, and Kha'li Smith; sister, Gloria Bell; brothers, Richard Harris and Darnell Neal; niece, Nicole Harris; nephew, Tyree Davis; and a host of other relatives, friends, and loved ones that will always remember her.
