Marvel Aleta Clark Harris (1915-2015)

Marvel Harris was the eleventh child born to Henry and Pinky Clark, who migrated from Virginia to settle in Pennington, New Jersey. Marvel was born in the middle of a blizzard and was a very sickly child not expected to live. Defying the prediction of her doctors, Marvel married, raised two children, and lived a full life which included seventy years working within her church. She passed away a mere two months after celebrating her 100th birthday.
