Our devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, LaVoris “Mikki” Harris, received her wings on January 29, 2024 at her residence in Browns Summit, NC. She was 61 years old.

She is survived by her father James Whitlock; her children, Tomika Harris, Antwain Harris, Kawania Harris, and Angelica Harris; her sister Endora Whitlock Motley; and her grandchildren, J’Bria, Tamiya, Adiya, Taraji, Dahkeem, Jaquon, London, Lathan, and Aniya. She is predeceased by her mother, Loretta Pointer Whitlock; and her son, Derrick Harris.

Mikki was born in Albany, NY on September 19, 1962 to James and Loretta Whitlock. She attended Halifax County High School and lived her young life in Alton and Danville, VA.

She began working at an early age. She worked for 20 years at Dan River Industries in Danville, VA, and UFCW Local 400 as Secretary Treasurer where she later retired in 2019.

A lover of the arts, she especially enjoyed discovering African cultural and ceremonial pieces. An avid reader, foodie, and historian, she was always excited about traveling and learning about new things daily.

A memorial service honoring her life is scheduled for Friday, February 9 at 12:00 p.m. at the Perry J Brown Funeral Home Chapel on 909 E Market St, Greensboro, NC 27401.
