Services will be at 2 p.m. Monday in First United Methodist Church in Follett with the Rev. Dan Carter, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in Fairmont Cemetery by Morrison Funeral Directors.

Irene was born Feb. 9, 1920, in Durham, Okla., to Cleve and Belle Hatley Hughes. She was a graduate of Higgins High School in 1937, and attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, where she received a bachelor’s degree in home economics education in 1941. She was a teacher in Lazbuddie, where she taught sixth-grade history, reading, spelling, and Homemaking I and II. She also planned cafeteria meals.

Irene was united in marriage to Lloyd Harris on June 12, 1942, in Higgins. Lloyd was in the service, and was stationed overseas for 49 months. During this time, Irene taught adult and high school Homemaking I, II and III, and ninth-grade science in Wellington.

When Lloyd returned to the states, he was stationed in Hayward, Calif. While there, Irene worked for California Conserving Co. in the purchasing department. Upon his discharge from the service, they moved to a farm northwest of Follett, where they engaged in farming and ranching.

Irene returned to teaching in 1956 in the Darrouzett school system for 17 years. She taught sixth- through eighth-grade science and ninth-grade English. She also taught Homemaking I, II, III and Home and Family Living. Lloyd preceded her in death in 1998.

Irene was a member of First Methodist Church of Follett. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend, and will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd; a son, Dennis Harris, in 2000; a sister, Juanita, in 1994; and a brother, Ray, in 2007.

Survivors include a daughter, Patty Brown and husband Jim Bob of Stratford; two grandchildren, Ashley Wilson and husband Trent of White Deer and Caleb Brown of Lincoln, Neb.; two sisters-in-law, Ruby Hughes of Arnett, Okla., and Lois Otey of Dallas; and several nieces and nephews.

Viewing will be at 10 a.m. until service time Monday at the church.
