Patricia M. Harris (88) was born on April 9, 1937, in Millvale, PA to Victor and Elsie Marx and died on June 14, 2025, in Ocala, FL. She is preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Rulon Carl Harris Jr. She is survived by her two children Lisa Harris Anthony (Scott) and Rulon “Lon” Carl Harris III (Krista) three grandchildren Zachary Harris Anthony (Lauren), Jordan Scott Anthony (Tiffany), Bridger Helm Harris, and two great-grandchildren Madelyn Rose Anthony and Jacob Scott Anthony.

Pat’s family moved to Ormond Beach, FL when she was a teenager where she graduated from Mainland High School. Pat and Carl met in Ormond Beach and later married there in 1957. They started their family in Georgia where they had Lisa & Lon, and then later moved to Ocala, FL in 1974. She worked for over 40 years at Mockingbird Farm that then became Winding Oaks Farm. Outside of work, she was a dedicated member of Grace Episcopal Church and could always be counted on to be cheering for her beloved University of Florida Gators. She adored her family and friends above all else and she will be sorely missed and forever loved.

A service will be held at Grace Episcopal Church on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 2:30 p.m., and afterward the family will receive friends in the church’s Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to Grace Episcopal Church or St. Jude’s Medical Center in Pat’s memory.

Go Gators!
