Obituary

Kenneth Bradley Harris of El Dorado passed away April 30, 2024, in his home surrounded by family, at 94 years of age.  He was born in McCaskill Arkansas on December 15th, 1929 to the late James Ottis Harris and Jessie Bradley Harris. Kenneth's mother passed away when he was 3, and he was raised by his stepmom Ava Nell Hinton Harris. He went on to graduate from Blevins High School and Henderson State Teachers College in Arkadelphia, AR. For over 30 years Kenneth was employed as a Sanitarian by the Arkansas State Health Department in El Dorado. He loved flying his Luscombe airplane, but passion was dancing -he would even go 3-4 times a week.
He was predeceased by his parents; and his wife of 42 years, Bettie Davis Harris.

Those left to cherish his memory include: two sons: Kenneth Morgan Harris (Donna) and Jeffery Bradley Harris (Jane); four grandchildren: Sarah Samples (Austin), Kaitlyn Busby (Wes), Morgan Harris (Jerri), Jessica Gates (Zack); six great grandchildren; as well as a host of extended family and friends.

He is also survived by his great friend and dance partner of 30 years, Edwina Guinn.
