It is with heavy hearts and profound love that we announce the passing of our beloved Granny, Elizabeth “Liz” Harrison, on Sunday, October 12, 2025. The impact of her near 93 years is immense, and we take comfort knowing she will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, as she frequently quoted from her favorite Psalm 23.
Elizabeth Ann Sylvester was born on November 18, 1932, in Eastland, Texas, to Cecil Lee and Trophie Rae Todd Sylvester. She lived in various places while growing up and graduated from high school in Fallon, Nevada. She returned to Texas to attend Ranger Junior College where she was crowned Queen of 1951, their “very own beautiful Queen Elizabeth”.
Liz married Billy Joe “Bill” Harrison on June 10, 1951, in Ranger, Texas, and they were married 57 years before his passing. They resided in Ranger, South Houston, and Eastland, with their three children Phillip, Ralph, and Nancy. Bill and Liz owned and operated H&R Lumber in Eastland, cattle auction barns in Breckenridge and Ranger, a cattle trucking business, HTH Trucking, and Harrison Land and Cattle, all of which Liz took care of the bookkeeping and dispatch. She was a devoted ranching wife, feeding many cowboys at her table.
