Grandville Harris

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Grandville Harris, 95, of Tallulah and Oak Grove, on March 16, 2025. He lived a long life filled with love, laughter, and dedication to his family and friends.

Born on June 9, 1929, to the late B.P. Harris and Ethel (Jones) Harris. Grandville has one surviving brother Robert “Bobby” Harris.

Grandville served proudly in the United States Air Force during the Korean War, rising to the rank of staff sergeant and later worked as a master machinist and cattle rancher in Texas for over 40 years. Upon his retirement, he returned to Louisiana and started his own business, Harris Appliance and Repair in Tallulah. Mr. Harris was known as a skilled and conscientious craftsman and took great pride in his work.

Mr. Harris was a devoted husband to his late wife, Betty, and a cherished father of Walter “Pete” Harris, John “Rusty” Harris, Eddie Joe Eckert (deceased), James Ross Eckert, and daughters Joan (Harris) Ezell (deceased) and Jerrie Lynn Eckert.
