Rene Harris
April 19, 1971-Feb. 10, 2021
Rene Harris, a resident of Redkey, passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.
Rene was born April 19, 1971, in Jay County Hospital. She had a rough start in life being a preemie. She had a measure of learning disabilities, but fought hard to make the best of her situation.
She was a daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter and great-aunt. She was a kind gentle soul, and animals were drawn to her sensing she meant them no harm. She enjoyed being around older persons, even volunteering to play the piano at nursing homes. She was a self-taught pianist and never could read music, but came up with different melodies and could play different songs with both hands at the same time and blend the music. She loved to write with a flair, making many cards and sending letters to all her friends. She was continually making friends.
Her niece Megan said she admired Rene for not being afraid to be herself, wearing bright colors and lots of bling. She loved to dance at weddings and receptions, even if it was by herself.
She was a faithful witness of Jehovah God to the end, always working on strengthening her faith. She loved to laugh with friends and tell corny jokes. She had written many poems on a variety of topics. She adored camping in all its aspects and looked forward to it every time. It brought us closer as a family.
She is survived by her mother and father — Carole and Neal Harris, Redkey, Indiana
Sisters — Tonja Lynne McDonald (husband: Jim), Celina, Ohio, Rachel Stephens (husband: Charles), Marion, Indiana, and Elizabeth Newman Stump (companion: Lawrence Teeters), Portland, Indiana
Nieces — Meghan, Sable and Sierra, and great-niece Aurora
Nephew: Joel
Private services will be held from the family and friends.
Arrangements are entrusted to Williamson-Spencer and Penrod Funeral Home.
