Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - Sunday, December 1, 1996 
Edmonia Gibson Harris, 101, a lifelong resident of Norfolk, died Nov. 29, 1996,
in a local adult health care center from complications associated with old age.

She was the widow of Robert Henry Harris, who preceded her in death several
years ago.

For 93 years, Mrs. Harris had been a faithful member of the historic First
Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, where she was active with the senior choir, the
missionary circle and the usher board. Upon taking up residency at the adult
care center, she became the often-featured vocalist with the Red Coats, a local
band assembled to entertain seniors in residence at health care centers
throughout the area. Declining health forced her into total retirement for the
last several months.

She is survived by several relatives, among whom are two nieces, Mrs. Selena
Baker of Norfolk and Mrs. Myrtle Russell of Brooklyn, N.Y.; and her
grandchildren, the Rev. Dala Nottingham of Norfolk and the Theodore Harris
family of Philadelphia.

She had two special friends, George and Dorothy Joyner.

Graveside rites will be conducted by Dr. Robert G. Murray, pastor of First
Baptist Church, at noon Tuesday in Calvary Cemetery . Family and friends will
assemble at the cemetery at 11:45 a.m. Hale Funeral Home is in charge.
