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.

Mikki Harris I will keep our happy times in my heart and mind. You taught me everything you knew. That's who you were. You reached back and gave me a pull. I will forever stand on your shoulders. When the announcement came that you were Secretary Treasure I was so proud I could have exploded. The day you left I felt it without being told. Because I kept you in my heart ❤️ As you called me... DONNA WADDELL.

She will forever be with you. We love you guys and are here for you during this difficult time. Wendy Sparks-Hobbs and Family

Mickey was a good person! RIP dear!
My condolences on the loss of Mikki. She was a wonderful labor leader and friend. She will be forever missed.
To the family of Mikki Harris, I met your loved one through the NAACP and Local 400. We instantly became friends much like family. She was a go getter who loved her family and serious about her work. I spoke with her a while back and she informed me of her move and she was so happy. Retired and enjoying life. I am so glad she had the opportunity to be free from work and enjoying family. Will always hold fond memories in my heart💔💔🥰🙏🏾
I am so sorry to hear Mikki passed. Mikki and I shared a love of art and jewelry. We were also close in age. She turned me on to African wedding necklaces, and I designed and made a few pieces of jewelry for her. She became Secretary Treasurer for Local 400 a few years after I became Secretary Treasurer of Local 135. So we had that in common as well. I know how much she loved her children. My thoughts and prayers to her children, the rest of her family, and all that knew and loved her. Rest well Mikki!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
