Patrice M. Harris was born on October 13, 1965, in Fort Smith Arkansas to Nathaniel and Katherine Harris. When the family moved to Banning, California, they joined First Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. J.P. Prior. Patrice graduated from Banning High School in 1983 and was a great athlete. In 1987, she married Arthur Harris (Bo) and had 3 beautiful kids, DeLania (DeeDee), Arthur Jr. (BoBo), and Donta (Scooter) who were her world.
Patrice loved to do hair, which lead her to go and graduate from cosmetology school in the late 90s, which then lead her to work in Seals Beauty Shop, and still out of her kitchen. If she wasn't at the beauty shop, she would have been down at the baseball field cheering for not only her kids, but for all the kids. Despite being a hairdresser, Patrice was also a great employee for Polo Ralph Lauren for almost 20 years and had tremendous love for her Polo family. Patrice was a big Pittsburgh Steeler's fan, LA Dodger fan, and LA Laker's fan. Patrice was also a really big fan of her grandbabies, to which she spoiled every one of them.
Patrice leaves behind her mother Katherine Harris, 3 kids DeLania Harris-Freedman (Rashad), Arthur Harris Jr., and Donta Harris (Annie), her 7 grandbabies Laila, Payton, Imani, Cameron, Donta Jr, Madison, and Jamaal, her 3 brothers Maurice Crain (Debbie), Pastor David Harris Sr. (Crystal), and Nate Harris III, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Preceding her in death is her father Deacon Nathaniel Harris Jr. and her sister Adrienne Pete.
