Louise Harris

Louise was born in Norristown Pennsylvania to Joseph Middleton and Eva Reifsnyder Middleton.

She earned a bachelor’s degree from West Chester State Teachers College in education and taught kindergarten and first grade in New York at the Tioga Center and Candor school districts.

She was married to Vernon “Buck” Harris (deceased) for 52 years. They had two children: Debbie (Dan) Stoorza of Saranac Lake and Jeff (Jenny) Harris of Voorheesville. Louise has 5 grandsons: Ryan (Keri) of York Maine, Tad (Lisa) of Gunnison Colorado, Eric (Kat) of Santa Cruz, California, Keegan of Denver Colorado and Carson Harris of Voorheesville. She was GiGi (great grandma) to Kayleen, Colby, Kendall, Caitlin, Taiga and Neva.

After retirement, Louise volunteered at Adirondack Medical Center, Red Cross and Holiday Helpers. She was an avid crafter especially knitting. She got as much enjoyment from giving her crafts to friends and family as she did making them.

Calling hours will be held Saturday, Jan. 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Fortune Keough Funeral Home in Saranac Lake.

In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to St. Luke’s Church Grace Pantry, 136 Main St. Saranac Lake, NY, 12983.
