Carol Harris, our beloved wife and mother, passed away on March 29, 2024 surrounded by family and friends. Born November 7, 1956 in Starke, FL, she is the daughter of Samuel Crews Sr. and Frieda Crews.
Carol was a joyful Christian and a beloved wife who raised her children with loving kindness. She is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us by his own blood. Those left behind will miss her dearly and praise her memory for the rest of our days.
She was the wife of David Harris for over 49 years. She was a proud mother and grandmother with four children, Clint Harris, Adam Harris (Stacy), Brian Harris, and Hayley Ruocco (G. T.). She had four grandchildren, Annie Harris, Millie Harris, Samuel Harris, and Olivia Ruocco. Her surviving siblings are Samuel Crews Jr. (Faye), Allen Crews (Virginia), Charles Crews (Gail), Robert Crews (Janice), Alice Youngblood, and Raymond Crews (Rita).
Carol enjoyed being with her children and took them to church, Christian schools, and sporting events. She enjoyed vacationing in the mountains with family. One of our boys who was 2-3 years old at the time said to Carol “I like the kind of face you gots” because she was almost always smiling when she looked at them.
A visitation will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at Westside Baptist Church, 7775 Herlong Rd. Jacksonville, FL 32210. Services will be at 2:00 PM followed by a graveside gathering at 3:00 PM at Riverside Memorial Cemetery at Normandy Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. A reception meal will be served at the Church at 4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, you may donate to the Gideons International at https://www.gideons.org/donate
Thank you to all who visited us and brought food during this time. Your outpouring of love for Carol and her family was very much appreciated. May God bless all of you till we meet in heaven and serve the Lord with gladness.

So incredibly sorry for such a loss. Carol, most loving, devoted mom ever. Even though, life got busy and I haven’t seen her in a long time, as a sister in Christ I will see her again. The times we spent together were very good when our girls were young. Beanie babies, Cracker Barrel, birthday parties and school issues were all better with Carol. I look forward to finally catching up with her one day. People…Tomorrow is never guaranteed, don’t put off accepting salvation today.

Carol was a very special lady who was a blessing to many. I am glad that you had this wonderful lady as your wife and mother, and grieve with you in her loss. I feel blessed to have known her. I am comforted, knowing she is not dead, she has only discarded her earthly body and is with the Lord!

I love ❤️ you so very much and all the rest of my family to and I miss the real you but I know I will see you again someday and that makes me happy that you don’t have to suffer with headaches in bed anymore, one of my favorite 😍 memories with you Grammy is when it was a birthday dinner and I would get my slice of cake 🍰 and you would say “ can I get this cake” 🎂 I would say uuuuhhhhhhhhhh and you say “ think of it this way I would have eaten all of those calories for you.” And I say “well I don’t want to say yes but I don’t want to say no.” And then you would be kidding. I’m really going to miss you grandmommy and I promise I won’t ever forget you and I promise to memorize those verses you have been wanting me to memorize for years now ok. Bye I will miss you so so so much.
