Susan Louise Wolfe Harrison (April 16, 1942-December 9, 2009).  

 

SAVANNAH, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA - Susan Louise Wolfe Harrison, 67, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 after a long battle with breast cancer. Born in Pittsburgh on April 16, 1942, she was the daughter of the late William LaGrange Wolfe and the late Jeanette Bartels Wolfe. She lived in Pittsburgh for her first 13 years, moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where she graduated from Holland Hall School, and then to Houston, Texas. After graduating from Smith College in 1964, she returned to Houston to work for Merrill Lynch and volunteered with the Junior League of Houston. While there, she met and married Robert Lynah Harrison from Savannah. She and her husband moved to New York City for a brief period in 1968 and then settled in Savannah in December of that year. Active in her community and church, she became a member of and served as president of the Junior League of Savannah. In 1985 she was the first woman ordained as a deacon of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia and served as deacon at Christ Church Episcopal, St. George's Chapel at the Diocesan House and summer deacon at the Church of the Incarnation in Highlands, North Carolina. She was one of the founders of the soup kitchen Emmaus House, president of the Women of Christ Church Episcopal and served on the board of Savannah Hospice as chairwoman of the spirituality and ethics committee. She was also chairwoman of the Board of the Georgia Infirmary and William Court Apartments and of United Way's Emergency Services Committee, which brought into being the Homeless Coalition. She was a member of the Trustees Garden Club, the Wild Azalea Garden Club and a horticulture judge for the Garden Club of America. Susan's greatest love was her family - Robbie, Eleanor, Peter, Catherine, Margaret, Dory, and her five grandchildren. She was an avid gardener, loved to play golf in Highlands and was especially fond of her four-footed friends. Her communities, prayer groups and friends were very important to her. Informed by her strong sense of faith and justice, she cared deeply for the well-being of all people, especially those less fortunate, and she worked passionately to better their lives. Her relationship to God was the foundation of her life. She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Robbie; daughter Eleanor Harrison Bregman and her husband Peter Harrison Bregman; daughter Catherine Huger Harrison; daughter Margaret Lynah Harrison and her husband Dorance Dorman Greer IV; and grandchildren Isabelle Mackay Harrison Bregman, Sophia Naggar Harrison Bregman, Daniel Joseph Harrison Bregman, Dorance Dorman Greer V and Evie Jane Greer.
