Minot – V. Jeanette ( Jean ) Harris, 81, of Minot, went home to be with her Lord on Saturday, April 25, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Lewiston, March 30, 1928, the daughter of Willis M. and Lela E. Moores Moody. She graduated from Edward Little High School in the class of 1946. On Dec. 5, 1947, she married Amos F.

She was a member of the Pleasant Street Baptist Church in Mechanic Falls, where she had been a deaconess, sang in the choir, taught Sunday school and served on the social committee. She enjoyed her truck and tractor and until her illness would take long walks every day. She and Amos enjoyed working in their rose and vegetable gardens. Her grandchildren remember she loved being called “Gram” by everyone, playing the piano and singing with them and her gingerbread molasses cookies at Christmas. Her door was always open and everyone was welcome. She loved to make bread.
