Donna Taylor Harris, 73, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, MS. She was born in Pontotoc, MS, on March 14, 1952, to Chester and Eathel Loggins Taylor. A devoted member of Faith Outreach Church, she spent her career as an inspector at Futorian and Rose Hill before retiring. She was truly the best mother, sister, wife, cousin, and grandma—beautiful inside and out, kind-hearted, fun-loving, and always ready to dance. Her radiant smile could light up any room, and her home was always filled with laughter and love. She adored her family with fierce devotion, keeping a special place in her heart for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her happiest times were spent outside, enjoying the gentle music of her wind chimes and watching birds gather at her feeders. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
Donna is survived by her husband, Billy Harris; her daughter, Lisa Chandler (Brad); her son, Anthony Harris (Brandi); her grandchildren, Taylor Beard, Ashley Holley (Josh), Cole Chandler (Abby), Hannah Fitch (Tucker), Brynlee Harris, Kylee Harris, and Willow Harris; her great-grandchildren, Reed Holley, Chandler Gladney, and Charlie Claire Chandler; her sisters, Nancy Malone and Nedra Guyton; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Alton Taylor; and her sisters, Obine Turner, Thelma Morris, and Mary Salvatierra.
Funeral services are set for 1 PM on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at Faith Outreach Church in Okolona, MS, with Bro. Danny Owen and Bro. Jimmy Bryan officiating. Visitation will be Monday evening from 5 to 8 PM and again Tuesday morning from 11 AM until the service begins. Burial will follow at Edington Cemetery.
