Cora was a daughter, a sister, a mom, a MeMe, and a friend. Her joy in life was being a MeMe. Between her grands and her great-grands, as well as being a mom, she knew her life's purpose was fulfilled. That, among many of her other joys in life is what kept her going. She loved flower gardening and enjoyed Spring-time when everything came to life. She was selfless and she believed in giving to her community and to the less fortunate. She made a day of it when it came to thrifting. She was not "too good" to be seen shopping at any thrift shop and was well known to find many treasures. Her treasures brought so much joy to her life, it was even the highlight of her day. She was loved and she loved big.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Audie Harris, a brother, Mark Harris, and an infant brother, Alton Leo Harris.

Survivors include her children, Gaye Barnett-Sebren and Melissa Comans; grandchildren, Jerrad Sebren (Whitney), Chelsea Kent (Paden), and Hannah Comans (Zach); great-grandchildren, Grayson May, Maisy Kent, Jase Sebren, Addison Luke Hawes, and Ellie Jane Sebren. And her grand-furbabies Ziggy, Mia Rae, Priya, Zombie, and Marley. Three siblings, Mary Lou Sizemore, Kenny Harris (Shirley), and Fran Walters. She was "Aunt CoCo" to numerous nieces and nephews. She was loved by many friends, and her work family.

Pallbearers will be Jerrad Sebren, Paden Kent, Scotty Walters, Steven Walters, Doug Mayes, and Ronnie Federick.

Honorary Pallbearer will be Grayson May.
