Manuel Alvin Harrison
August 18, 1927 — September 1, 2019
Manuel Alvin Harrison, age 92, entered into his heavenly home Sunday, September 1, 2019.
He was born in Joanna, SC, and was a son of the late Ralph Licene Harrison and Lucy Anna Flynn Harrison.
Mr. Harrison was very proud to have served his country as a U.S. Army veteran of WWII and as a Sergeant (ret.) in the SC National Guard with 34 years of service. He was a very active member of the Whitmire American Legion Post No. 70. Mr. Harrison was a former employee of J.P. Stevens, Whitmire Plant and was a retired employee of Whitten Center. He also worked with Kunkle Oil Company and with Leaman Oil Company.
Mr. Harrison’s legacy is a lifetime of service to his country, his community and his church. His life-long treasures were his family, friends, and his faith in God. Daily, he lived out his Christian faith and shared it with others. He especially enjoyed sharing vegetables he and his wife grew in their garden with family and friends.
Surviving are the love of his life, and wife of 63 years, Beatrice Trammell Harrison; two daughters, Rhonda Huggins (John) of Pomaria, Lisa Morris (Todd) of Newberry; one sister, Dalma Harrison Trammell of Whitmire; four grandchildren, Nathan Andrew Huggins, Leanna Marie Huggins Smith (Chris), Alexis Ann Morris, Nicholas Blake Morris and a great granddaughter on the way.
In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by four sisters, six brothers and a special niece.
