BRYANT — Virginia Harrison

was born July 8, 1939 and passed away August 20, 2021.

How do you pen the life of someone like Virginia in couple of paragraphs? Virginia’s life seemed to be a surrounded by challenges. Raised by a single mother, a challenging marriage that ended in divorce.

She saw her life as an opportunity to change her family’s history. Virginia would never speak ill of anyone including the father of her children, she chose instead to remember the good times and was often quoted as saying he gave me four beautiful children. I guess her character could be defined by a quote she penned; My father left me, my husband left me but my Heavenly Father has never left me. She will be remembered for her incredible faith and gentle sweet spirit, even in her death she modeled faith, a great attitude, and faced Alzheimer’s disease with great courage. She never asked why me but continued to show her great faith. She was preceded in death by her parents Seyman and Erma Horton.

Virginia had four adoring children, all of which are married to their original spouses.

Eddie and Cheryl Harrison of Bryant, David and Sheila Harrison of Texarkana, Sondra and Tim Daniel of Conway, and Terri and Jay Thompson of Malvern. Eight grandchildren, Candice Hill, Ashley Lindsey, Niki Spivey, Jordan Harrison, Harrison Daniel, Shelby Daniel, Lindsey Glenn, and Jake Thompson; 21 great-grandchildren.

The visitation will be Thursday, August 26, 2021 from 1212:30 at Lifeline Baptist with a celebration of life to follow. The cemetery service at Pinecrest Memorial Gardens will begin at 2:00. Memorials can be made to Lifeline Baptist Church in lieu of flowers.
