Eloise Harris

Eloise Harris, affectionately known as Elly, passed away peacefully in her home in Madison October 14, 2024, at the age of 63. Born on August 13, 1961, in Emporia, Kansas, Elly was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, friend.

Elly married the love of her life, Randall L. Harris, on February 14, 1994, in Emporia. Together, they dedicated over thirty years to building a life filled with warmth and joy in Madison. Throughout her career, Elly held various positions that included printing, working at I.B.P., and serving in local cafés. In 2005, she and Randall took a significant step in their lives by purchasing a liqueur store, which they operated together until their retirement in 2021.

She was always willing to offer a helping hand to those around her, leaving a trail of smiles and laughter in her wake. She loved reading and spent time helping with the library. She loved her flowers and her hummingbirds but most of all she loved spending time with her kids, grandkids and great grandkids. 

She is survived by her husband Randall. Daughter Stella, sons Josh, Adam. Grandkids Isabel, Emily, Tristan, Jackson, Bentley and Paislee. Great grandkids Alissa and Adalynn. Elly's love extended beyond her immediate family to numerous extended family members and a community of dear friends, all of whom will carry her memory forward.

Elly was preceded in death by an infant, her parents, a sister, Velva, and brothers, Wayne Renfro, Robert Renfro, and Terry Renfro. Her legacy of kindness, joy, and unwavering love will forever be remembered by all who knew her.

Elly's family invite you to join them in celebrating her life at a gathering scheduled for 2:00 P.M., Sunday, October 27, 2024 at the Sauder Center in Madison.

In lieu of flowers there will be an educational fund sent up for grandkids and great grandkids.
