Ed was born February 17, 1944, in Geneva County, Alabama to the late Ollie D. “Red” and Gladys Mitchell Harrison.  He graciously devoted most of his working career to law enforcement. For 16 years he was employed with the Geneva County Sheriff’s office; 14 years with the Geneva Police Department and later after 20 years of service he retired as Chief Juvenile Probation Officer for Geneva, County.  Ed was very active in the community and was a role model for many.  He had a very loving spirit and a smile for everyone he met.  Ed loved people and everyone loved him.  He touched many lives in several different and unique ways.  If you knew Ed, you had a friend for life and someone you could count on.  He was very devoted to his family as well as his many friends.  Ed was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Geneva and he was an avid Alabama “Roll Tide” fan.

 

In addition to his parents his sister, Francis Williams, preceded him in death.
