© Strode Funeral Home Stillwater, Oklahoma April 2014 Donna Kay [Dedrick] Harris August 18, 1942 ~ April 16, 2014 Donna Kay Harris died peacefully, Wednesday, April 16, 2014, surrounded by her loving family in Oklahoma City. Her death was due to complications resulting from cancer. She was 71. Born August 18, 1942, in Waynoka [sic], Oklahoma, she was the daughter of the late Harold James and Helen Louise [Pierce] Dedrick. The family moved eventually to Stillwater, where Donna graduated from Stillwater High School in 1960. She attended Oklahoma State University then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to accept a job with aerospace manufacturer McDonnell Douglas. There Donna met her future husband, Ronald Lee Harris. They were wed in December 1965, forming a bond that resulted in a 44-year marriage. Donna and Ron settled in Oklahoma City where Ron had a 37-year career at Howell-Stone Insurance Agency. They shared a close professional and personal relationship with everyone at Howell-Stone. Donna also worked as a lab technician for about twenty years at an orthodontic practice in Oklahoma City. Family members include her two sons, Stace James Harris and Thad Spencer Harris, and Stace's two children, Katelyn Grace [13] and Tyler Jacob [almost 11], who meant everything to her. Donna is also survived by her devoted brother, Darrell R. Dedrick, retired dentist, now of Seiling, OK, and his children, Dana, Angela, and Andrew, as well as by Ron's brothers, Kenneth [and Suzanne] Harris and Dave [and Susan] Harris, his sister Kalen [and Rick] May and their seven children. Next to her personal family, the love of Donna's and Ron's lives was their family cabin on a steep mountain in Lake City, Colorado. They frequently welcomed family and friends to share in their love of nature, fishing, companionship, and great food at this comfortable mountainside, lake-view home. Donna also loved to spend special time with her treasured grandchildren, read, cook, play tennis, garden, do cross-stitching, work puzzles, and enjoy the company of special friends at her "Tuesday Lunch Bunch." She also had lunch frequently with a close group of high school classmates in Stillwater. Friends were a very important aspect of her life, and she devoted a great deal of time keeping in close touch with them. No interest or activity was more special to Donna and Ron than attending a variety of OSU sporting events and spending special time together with friends and family at their country home south of Stillwater. The family expresses their deep, heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care that Dr. Michael Keefer and his staff provided to Donna during her battle with cancer. The service was held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, April 21st, at Grace United Methodist Church, 6316 North Tulsa, Oklahoma City, with the Reverend Ed Light officiating. Arrangements were under the direction of Buchanan Funeral Service, 8712 N. Council Road, Oklahoma City. Burial followed at 2:00 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Stillwater.

Funeral services have been entrusted to the care of Dighton-Marler Funeral Home of Stillwater. Visitation will be 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at Dighton-Marler Funeral Home. Family will greet guests from 6PM to 8PM. A Celebration of Eddie’s life will be Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 1:00 PM in the Chapel at Dighton-Marler Funeral Home. Pastor Jonathon…Horner will officiate. Pallbearers will be Sam Harris, Mark Solano, Landon Horner, Justice Solano, Caleb Russell, and C.J. Radford. Honorary pallbearers will be Logan Solano, Patrick Gatton, and Awnesty Radford. Eddie was born May 19, 1947 in Monahans, TX., to Darrell and Patricia Anna [Garner] Harris. He grew up in the Oklahoma City area and graduated Western Heights High School in 1965. On June 16, 1966 Eddie joined the United States Navy and was honorably discharged in 1968. After his time in the Navy, Eddie graduated Apostolic Bible Institute with his Associates in Theology; and was called into the ministry as an Evangelist and a Pastor. He committed 13 years as the faithful pastor of the Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ in Yukon, OK; where he had a life changing impact on everyone that had the opportunity to be around him. Additionally, Eddie Harris was an entrepreneur and inventor. He was a painter by trade but was known as someone that could get any job done fast and right earning his nickname “Fast Eddie.” He never started something that he did not finish. He invested over 25 years painting and building Stillwater as his home. The only thing that took precedence over his work, was his family and the many friends that he treated as family. He was proud to be a father, a grandfather, and a great grandfather. He would carry a camera around with him everywhere he would go just so that he would have the opportunity to capture memories with his family, his friends, and more than occasionally; absolute strangers. Finally, Eddie was a game player, a prankster, and his jokes were referred to as “Eddie Jokes.” He could play cards and dominoes with the best but be careful because he was not ashamed to use sleight of hand when playing. He believed that you had to make the best of your life and not take it too seriously because you did not know the time that you would have. Survivors include his wife Beth of the home; two daughters, Crystal Solano and husband Mark of Yukon, OK, and Charisma Horner and husband Jonathon of Perkins, OK; one son, Samuel Harris and wife Jamie of Joplin, MO; eight grandchildren Logan Solano and wife Kristen, Awnesty Radford and husband C.J., Caleb Russell, Landon Horner, Justice Solano, Brandi Solano, Gabriel Harris, and Everlyn Harris; six great-grandchildren, Faith, Arora, Blake, Zane, Zada, and Raven; three siblings, Marydith Harris of Yukon, OK, Johnny Harris and wife Karen of Norman, OK, and Teresa Ann Everest of Houston, TX; numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; and step-mother, Betty Harris. Condolences may be sent to the family via an online guestbook at www.dightonmarler.com |
