She was born on February 16, 1929 to the late Henry A. and Laura M. (Cramer) Wyant of Valatie, NY. She is predeceased by her husband, Charles T. "Chubby" Harris.

She met Chubby, the love of her life, while he was working for her father, and they were married on July 8, 1948. She lived in the house Chubby built for her until 2019 when she moved to San Antonio to be near her daughters.
