LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Deverah (Debbie) Joan Harris went peacefully home to be with her Lord on Feb. 15, 2014.

During that time, she worked at all three of the county courthouses – Upper Lake, Lakeport and Clearlake.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmie D. Harris. She is survived by her children, Marcia (Larry) Porter of Kelseyville, Calif., Tamara (Michael Howland) Lofthouse of Aurora, Utah, Susie (Paul) Rosales of Upper Lake, Calif., Rusty Harris of Las Vegas, Nev., and Billy Harris of Lancaster, Calif.; sisters, Melba (Darrol) Austin of Kelseyville, Karen (Jerry) Hook of Kelseyville and Sharon (Steve) Bennin of Los Banos, Calif.; nine grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

She will be missed dearly.
