Rebecca Dane Sudderth Harris
October 5, 1918 – February 21, 2019
Beloved “Becky” entered her Eternal Home on February 21, 2019, at the age of 100 years old.
She is survived by her son James “Rick” Harris and wife Wendy, Oneonta; brother Richard Sudderth, Norcross, GA, nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband William Henry Harris; parents Allen and Lucy Sudderth: brothers Billy, Jep & Joe Sudderth; sisters: Todd Batease, Mary Hood, Lucy Flowers and Ruth Yearwood.
One of nine children, Becky extended her love of family to many, many foster children. One child, Rick, proved too precious to leave their home and she and William adopted him as their only child in 1955.
A Southern cook of the highest order, her baking was legendary and the “Birthday Cake Lady” provided a thousand special memories to so many lucky families.
She loved her church family at Shades Mountain Baptist and served on the staff in many capacities from nursery worker to church hostess ensuring that everyone felt welcome.
Special thank you to South Haven Nursing Home for their exceptional care, and the angels who work at Alliant Palliative Care.
Visitation will be on Monday, February 25, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. at Ridout’s Valley Chapel with funeral services to follow at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Elmwood Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Rebecca Harris Funeral Fund c/o Love Class Shades Mountain Baptist Church.
