Patricia M. Harrison

Patricia Harrison, lovingly known as “Nina” to her family, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2025, at the age of 96. She lived a full and beautiful life marked by her signature style, vibrant spirit, and unwavering love for those around her.

Never one to be seen without her pink lipstick and blue mascara, Nina carried herself with timeless grace and flair. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures: a cold Diet Pepsi (or four), a fresh cup of coffee (or six), a piece of Dove chocolate (or ten), and always—a Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cone ready for her grandkids and great grandkids when they came to visit. She played bingo daily and never missed a chance to dance.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Harrison, with whom she shared many decades of love and partnership.

She is survived by her children: Lynn (Bill), Greg (Gail), and Daphne (late Richard); her grandchildren: Matt (Suzie), Sarah Grace, Shannon (TJ) and Ashley (Billy); and her great-grandchildren: Emma, Sophia, Cole, Connor, Anna, Ella, and Sadie.

She will also be lovingly remembered by dear family friends Tony and Renita Geary, whose friendship and presence brought her comfort and joy over the years

Though no formal service will be held at this time, the family will be celebrating her life at a future date in Michigan (her hometown). In the meantime, they invite you to honor Nina in your own way—wear a little blue, enjoy a sweet treat, or play a round of bingo. She would have loved that.
