Lucille was born in Norfolk to Otto and Lucy Rowland on March 10, 1922. In May of 1942, she married Jackson C Harris, Jr. Prior to his passing in 2013, they celebrated their 71st anniversary. She was a loving and devoted wife, and mother. For many years, she helped manage her husband's business, J.C. Harris Plumbing Co. in Norfolk.

In 1974, she and Jack retired to Columbia, NC and lived there until three years ago when they moved to Chesapeake to be closer to family. Lucille was quiet and unassuming but also adventurous. She enjoyed travel and the family took many camping trips, passing through almost every state, even as far away as Utah and Alaska. She loved gardening and grew most of the vegetables she and Jack ate year round. She enjoyed surf fishing, especially on Hatteras Island, where they had a cottage. She was singularly devoted to her faith in Jesus Christ and ministry of the Word. In Columbia, she was a charter member at Faith Baptist Church. She and Jack regularly ministered to residents of the Union Mission in Norfolk, where he preached and sang hymns and Gospel songs with their good friends, Mary Jane and Snooky Jarvis.
