She passed away at 11 o’clock yesterday morning after a long fight with cancer.
Described as a great leader, mentor and supporter of student athletes, Harris made her last public appearance at a Shirley Caesar concert in St Andrew in January.
A year earlier when she was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, she requested a gospel concert at her beloved institution before she retires.
Born in Spaldings, Clarendon, Harris dedicated 25 years of service to education in Jamaica.
She is a graduate of the St Hugh’s High School, The University of the West Indies, the Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College and the Central Connecticut State University.
