Diann Russell Harrison, age 68, of Franklin, TN, formerly of McNairy County, departed this life at her home on November 19, 2022 after a very very brief illness.
Diann was born on October 12, 1954 to Robert E. McCall Russell and Dorothy Francine Ashe Russell.
She began her banking career as a teller right out of high school at First National Bank of Selmer. She remained in the banking business throughout her life. She worked up until about two weeks before her death as a loan officer at First Bank in Franklin – a position she held for the past eighteen years.
Surviving to cherish Diann’s memories are a daughter, Christa Harrison of Nashville; grandchildren, Mason and Marion Harrison, both of Selmer; sister, Bonnie Plunk of Adamsville; sister-in-law, Susie Russell of Bethel Springs; nieces, Angie Frazier of Adamsville and Tiffany (Wes) Ellis of Bethel Springs; great nieces, Bethany (Lane) Brown of Savannah, and Emily Ellis and Madison Ellis, both of Bethel Springs; great nephew, Logan Frazier of Adamsville; great-great niece Rinleigh Brown of Savannah; uncle, Sherman Russell of Bethel Springs; aunt, Shirley Prater of Pickwick; several cousins; and a very special best friend, Sherry Swearengen and her family of Knoxville.
Diann was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Francine Russell; son, Wes Harrison; brothers, Jeff Russell and David Russell; and a brother-in-law, James L. (Jim) Plunk.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
