(I am posting this early because we will be on the road tomorrow on her Birthday)
Sherry Lucille Harris was born to Wiley Aaron and Susie (Susan Geneva) Harris. Sherry discovered America on the Climax Mill Village in Belmont, NC Nov. 6th 1937. She had 3 brothers and two sisters. at the time. A little later Johnny came along and she was really outnumbered. She was the youngest girl.
Sherry had a beautiful mom and a handsome dad. So they therefore made beautiful daughters.
The Harris Clan missing Mother Susie and brother Tommy Joe.
She lived in Belmont all her life,in school she stayed pretty much with the same class members from grade school to graduation. She was very bright in school and was a member of the National Beta Society. I always knew she was a real catch, a princess. When I was researching her ancestors a couple months ago I learned her Great Grand Father’s name was King David Hawes, from the East, well Eastern North Carolina anyway.

I discovered her on the Imperial Mill Village and my life was forever changed. One of those things that makes your heart JUMP with JOY!
She has made my life happy and full. With her determined conservative spirit, earned from her mama (and dad) we have been able to enjoy a lot of good things. We are compatable in many areas especially our determination to be debt free. Saving until we could buy, rather than finance. We did finance one house, and she could not stand the idea of payments so she doubled the payments when possible. My friend Fred taught me to ‘Lean on my minister of Finance.’
We started off our marriage in a 26x8 trailer. We now live in a 38x8 motor home. Hey, we have gained 12 feet in 58 years.
She is a good mother, wonderful wife and a great lover. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ROCK, SHERRY.

There should be a time in every man’s life that he looks into the eyes of that special person, and after that nothing compares, forever! Imma thanking God I looked into Sherry’s eyes.
