Dec 23, 1926 — Feb 20, 2017
Eiko Furukawa Harris passed away February 20, 2017 with family and friends at her side. Eiko was born in Nikko, Japan on December 23, 1926 to Katsuei and Roku Furukawa. She was the eldest of seven siblings. During the Korean War she met and married Sgt. Elmer Harris, her husband of 57 years.
She was a wonderful homemaker while her children were young, later taking a job at Texas Instruments where she was honored for never missing a day of work. She also enjoyed sewing, macramé, cooking, knitting, reading, and crocheting. Eiko was blessed with a positive attitude throughout her life and always found the sunshine through the clouds.
