Lillie Mae Harrison

Lillie Mae Harrison (née Jackson), 91, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2025, in Bon Secour, Alabama. Born on October 30, 1933, in Foley,AL at Holmes Memorial Hospital, she remained a lifelong resident of the community she loved. Lillie Mae was a trailblazer in many ways. She began working at just nine years old on a flower farm and went on to break barriers as the first woman Deputy Sheriff in Baldwin County and the first woman EMT for South Baldwin Hospital. Her career was diverse and filled with dedication—she worked at the Magnolia House at Foley Middle School and rode the bus with the children, ensuring they were cared for beyond the classroom. She also worked as a realtor for Danial Kinsey Realty and spent time alongside her husband on a supply boat as a cook. During summers, she and her husband enjoyed flounder fishing together. A devoted member of Fisherman Baptist Church, Lillie Mae was always willing to lend a helping hand. She rode the church bus with the children and contributed wherever she was needed, embodying a spirit of service and faith. Lillie Mae found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She had an eye for a good thrift deal and could often be found tending to her garden or relaxing in her swimming pool. Above all else, she cherished her family deeply. She is survived by her children: Randy and Pam Harrison, Danny and Sheryl Harrison, and Julia and Rory Storm; her grandchildren: Stephanie and Scott Schoen, Jeffery and Shannon Harrison, Calli and Skelly Hebert, Brad and Mauri Harrison, Kasi and Justin McCarthy, Dustin and Megan Storm, Sawyer and Jessica Storm; fifteen great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James L. Harrison; her parents, Neil and Louise Jackson; her sister Jessie M. McDoniell; and her brother James E. "Buddy" Jackson. A funeral service will be held on February 20, 2025, at Fisherman Baptist Church, located at 17117 River Road in Bon Secour, Alabama. Visitation at 10:00 AM and service will begin at 11:00 AM. Lillie Mae Harrison’s legacy of strength, kindness, and dedication will live on through those who knew and loved her. May her memory bring comfort to all who were touched by her remarkable life.
