Lynann Marion Harris

Lynann (Lyn) Marion Harris left this life unexpectedly on September 28, 2024. She was born on October 9, 1963, in McCall Idaho. Ellis and Gladys Vawter raised the little spitfire in St. Maries Idaho where she graduated from high school in 1981. 

Not long after Lyn moved to Post Falls where she never left. It was there that she met her lifelong partner, Eric Harris. They were married on December 27, 1987. From that day forward Lyn proudly called herself Mrs. Eric Harris. Although they never had children, they always had their beloved pets that were often rescue animals. 

The two enjoyed camping in the summer at different places in north Idaho and occasional trips to the Oregon Coast. They both enjoyed NASCAR, and she had strong allegiances she wasn’t afraid to defend. Another form of racing she enjoyed was Eric’s many years of racing mostly at State Line Speedway. 

Lyn worked at various restaurants and quick stops for many years until her health deteriorated and she was forced to stay home. 

Lyn is survived by her beloved husband of 36 years, Eric Harris, her parents, Ellis and Gladys Vawter, her brother, Les (Dana) Vawter, several nieces and nephews, biological mother, Irene Bitton, and siblings, Jeffrey (Tommi) Halverson, Kris Cruz, and Staci (Billy) Sturgeon. Also, her best friend and confidant of 56 years Lois Witten. 

Lyn is preceded in death by her biological father, Gary Bitton, and some of her many pets.
