Dodie Lynn Harris
PRICE - Our loving Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Daughter and Sister, Dodie Lynn Harris, age 51, returned home, January 7, 2009 at the Parkdale Care Center in Price, Utah. She was born July 28, 1957 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah to Henry Lee Cole and Thera Lou Nielsen Gillies. She married Brian Harris on May 8, 1982. Dodie enjoyed listening to country music, camping, fishing, and dancing. She especially loved being with her family and Skatie, her dog. Her smile always filled a room with warmth and joy. Her laugh was the most beautiful sound and very contagious. She collected angels and now is among them. She was a resilient woman who suffered with M.S. for over 18 years. Her loving husband, Brian Harris took care of her at home for many of those years.
She is survived by the love of her life, Brian Harris; four children: Jenefer Patterson of AZ, Shawn Richmond of Sandy, UT, Amy Harris of Price, UT, and Danielle Harris of Price, UT; parents, Thera Lou (Lynn) Gillies of Fairfield, UT; In-laws, Bill (Frances) Harris of East Carbon, UT; 5 grandchildren; and four sisters: Chris (Bob) Trumble of Tooele, UT, Barbara Lilly of Fairfield, UT, Connie (Geremy) King of Eagle Mountain, UT, and Bonnie (Travis) Walsh of Eagle Mountain, UT.
