Audrey Harrison

Ms. Audrey Denise Harrison passed away Thursday, October 30, 2025, at Optalis Health and Rehab (St. Francis) in Saginaw, Michigan, Age 64 years. Audrey was born on February 6, 1961, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Levi and Curley Mae Harrison.

Audrey attended all Buena Schools and was a graduate of the Class of 1979 Buena Vista Knights. She grew up as a member of St. Paul Baptist Church. She enjoyed cooking for her family, and her children, especially for her grandchildren (Shamaia) who visited her everyday and prepared her favorite foods. She also enjoyed watching the news, listening to R&B music, and going to the casino. Audrey should have been a stand-up comedian; she could make you laugh until your stomach hurts. She will be dearly missed.

Audrey leaves to cherish her memory two daughters, Davana Harrison (Shannon Harris), and Lakisha Harrison (Thomas McKinley), and one son, Dontae Harrison; grandchildren, Dontae Jr., Ambrielle, Don'tae, Shamaia, Dontinna, Dontarius, Amiya, and Serenity; one embraced grandchild, Nehemiah, that she helped raise as if he was one of her own; seven great grandchildren, Deontae, D’Lasia, Hazel, Dontae, Melanie, and Mi'Yori, the expected bundle of joy she was excited to meet; four sisters, Mary Carter, Deborah Blanks, and Vivian (Ronald) Samuel; five brothers, Leroy, Levi Jr. (Geneva). and Edward (Carmen) Harrison. She is survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, whom she loved dearly; many other relatives and friends, including her best friend Anna Baskin-Hatchett.

Audrey was preceded in death by her parents, Levi and Curly Mae Harrison; one great-granddaughter, De’Asia; one sister, Regina McClain; two brothers, Jimmy and Ricky Harrison; two sisters-in-law, Roberta and Mary Harrison; and two very special friends, Melissa Washington and Carl Mosley, along with several other nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express special thanks to the Staff and Nurses at Optalis Health and Rehab (St. Francis), especially her granddaughter Ambrielle, who made sure that her granny got the best of care while she was on duty. A special thanks to her sister Deborah for the extra special care and attention she provided to our mother, and to Ivan Phillips and Staff of Paradise Funeral Chapel.
