Patricia Ann Nolan Harrison, 88, of Burlington, North Carolina, passed away on March 23, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on April 2, 1937, in Willimantic, Connecticut, to Arthur Francis Nolan and Ethel Marie Divine, Patti was known for her strength, style, and warmth. She lived a life filled with love, resilience, family, and faith.

She is survived by her son, Bobby Harrison; her daughters, Lisa H. Johnston (the late Teddy Johnston) and Angela H. Leonard; and many loved ones who will forever cherish her memory. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Robert James Harrison, Jr.; her son, Jeffrey Allen Harrison; and her sisters, Barbara Jean Nolan and Sandra Raglin.

Patti found great joy in her real estate career with Keller Williams, as well as in her love for style, design, baking, and cooking for those she loved. She will be especially remembered as “Mommoo” and “Mawmaw” to her grandchildren: Kristy L. Spencer (Nick), Mary A. Johnston, Nicholas W. Leonard (Ashlyn), Christopher D. Leonard, and Tracy Bullock (Louisa). She was also blessed with ten great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

A funeral service to celebrate the life of Patti will be held at 2:00PM Saturday, March 28, 2026 at Lowe Funeral Home Chapel by Pastor Willie Vanhook. The family will receive friends Saturday from 12:45PM to 1:45PM prior to the service and other times the family will be at the home of Lisa H. Johnston. A private burial will follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to AuthoraCare Hospice, 914 Chapel Hill Road, Burlington, NC 27215 or the Dementia Alliance of North Carolina.

“Her love remains the quiet strength that will carry us forward.”
