Charlyne Ruth Harrison

Charlyne Ruth Harrison peacefully passed away on September 25, 2023, at the age of 85. Born on March 19, 1938, in Houston, Texas, Charlyne lived a remarkable life filled with love, compassion, and commitment.

Charlyne was an integral part of the Buffalo community since 1974, where she dedicated her time and efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of those around her. When Charlyne later moved to Willis, she became a cherished member of the Conroe Church of God, where her devotion to her faith shone brightly.

Beyond her spiritual commitment, Charlyne possessed a creative passion that brought joy to her life and those who knew her. Crafting was one of her greatest pleasures, and her skill as an exceptional seamstress was evident in the exquisite wedding dresses she lovingly sewed for each of her daughters.

As a devoted minister's wife and homemaker, Charlyne's warmth and kindness radiated through her nurturing presence. She not only provided unwavering support to her husband but also created an environment filled with love and care for her children.

Charlyne's creative talents extended beyond sewing as she became an accomplished quilter, relishing in the meticulous artistry of each stitch. Her adeptness in crochet work and doll-making showcased her artistic flair and brought smiles to those lucky enough to receive her handmade treasures.

Although not one to cook often, Charlyne was known for her wonderful culinary skills. When she shared her delectable dishes, they brought comfort and nourishment to the hearts and stomachs of her loved ones.

Charlyne will forever be remembered for her compassion, her nurturing spirit, and the love she poured into everything she did. Her legacy of kindness and creativity will continue to inspire and touch the lives of those she leaves behind.

Charlyne was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rev. James Raymond Harrison; grandson, Raymond Wesley Harrison; and son-in-law, Don Odle.
