IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Harrison

Obituary
Our Mother and Teacher
Antoinette Fuhr Harrison was born November 5, 1928 in Muskogee, Oklahoma and passed away gently to the Lord on May 29, 2009.
An adored wife, mother, friend and teacher, Antoinette shared her love and wisdom with her family, friends and students. She was known as the most thoughtful, delightful person who always had a smile on her smooth and peaceful face.
Antoinette left Muskogee in 1946 and went to Langston University where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in French. Her Master's Degree in Counseling was from the University of South Carolina and later she obtained her PhD in Educational Technology from the University of Oklahoma. Antoinette found great satisfaction from teaching for 22 years at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. She loved learning and found particular delight in discovering new ways to keep her lessons interesting.
In 1954 Antoinette met and married her classmate Floyd Harrison and they traveled abroad spending time in several European countries. Germany was a particularly favorite place where she and a friend opened a shop in the community. Antoinette returned home with her husband in 1975. Together they raised three beautiful children.
Antoinette's retirement was the beginning of her opportunities as a volunteer. She was a naturally curious person and became involved with every organization she could. Antoinette belonged to two Salvation Army organizations. She was on the advisory board and a member of the Women's Auxiliary. For three years she was involved with Habitat for Humanity and played a key role in Muskogee's first WomenBuild. She also was involved with the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and Women of Vision who are a group who visits with area high school students to try to instill a vision for themselves. Antoinette also volunteered at the Muskogee Visitor's Center on U.S. 69. She was a life member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and served as President of the local chapter. She volunteered as well at the Muskogee Regional Medical Center and was an active member of Grace Episcopal Church.
Antoinette is survived by her sons Theodore and Michael and many cousins and friends. She is preceded in death by her mother Riva Fuhr, father Antoine Fuhr, husband Floyd Harrison and daughter Amanda.
