Christine Harris was born on December 31, 1939 to the late Henry Harris Sr. and Annie Lee Harris Bussey. On October 8, 2015, the Master called her name, her body, spirit and soul separated as she answered and triumphantly ascended to meet her Savior face to face. She was affectionately known as "Dubie."
Christine attended the schools of Richmond County. She was employed by the Medical College of Georgia (now known as Georgia Regents University) as a Lab Assistant.
Her hobbies included watching television, dancing and traveling to the Beaches of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina with her family.
At early age, Christine was a member of Friendship Baptist Church. Later in life she joined Miles Memorial CME Church, where she ushered and was a member of the food service ministry.
Christine was preceded in death by three siblings, Henry Harris, Jr., Robert Dallas and Barbara Jean Dallas Dunbar. Left to cherish her memories and live out her dreams are: three daughters, Joyce (Terry), Jacqueline and Betty (Frederick) Harris; one son Richard P. (Sebrina); one devoted and loving brother, James (Marian) Dallas Sr. all of Augusta; nineteen grandchildren: Antonio R., Ricardo R., Patrick D., Ricky D., Ray D. Ricardo D., Shania R., Tierra R., Jaynay J., Shanay T., Branay Q., Terry J., Raynay Q., Zakilya, Shakilya, Takilya, and Davion Harris. Richard L.

the w ay you walked, the w ay you taCked, the w ay you Cookedat me, m eant so much. I rem em ber a tt the words you sa id to me,
somefu n n y , some kind, some wise, a tt o f the things you d id fo r me, I see now w ith different eyes.
I rem em ber every moment we shared, seems tike onty yesterday, or maybe it was eons ago, It's realty h a rd to say. you are gonefrom me now,
but one thing they can't take away, your mem ory resides inside m y heart,
andCights up my darkest days.

The Cook o fpeace as we heldon to you your Cast days is assurance that you'd be with us to the end o f our days.
It's h ard to stay strong white dealing with the thoughts o fwalking through the door an d not seeing yourface or caCCing yourphone andnot hearing your voice. Only if, O only if heaven h ad a phone so I couCdhear your voice one Cast time.
JAs ofnow we have memories that'CCCast a Cifetime, ones you gave us that no other grandmother couCd
