May 21, 1921 - February 20, 2013

Vivian Wilson Harris, 91 passed away Wednesday, February 20 at Drew Memorial Hospital in Monticello. She was born May 21, 1921 to the late Robert Warden Wilson and Annie Doss Wilson. She was also preceded in death by her husband Loren Harris.

Mrs. Harris was a successful business woman, serving fourteen years as a bookkeeper for doctors Robert and Lewis Hyatt. She later owned and operated Harris Florist and then Ben Franklin retail store.
