I would also like to apologize to you for leaving you here on earth but, my work here is done! Miss me but let me go because on February 19, 2023, the Master called me per-sonally, and His voice was very clear. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in July 2019, be-ing placed in Hospice July 2022, and two months later reaching the end stage of Alzheimer’s Disease; I’ve always known prior to my diagnoses that He would call me when He felt my road was getting rough. “Am I right or am I wrong?” You all should know; He made me an offer that I couldn’t refuse. It entailed a huge sign-in bonus, a reunion with family and friends, no more pain, suffering, or worries. So, I went ahead and made my reservation; a Heaven bound ticket for one. In Flint, Michigan on January 28, 1950, I became the loving dependable daughter of Samuel Ernest Hariskins kindly called “Ernie Parker” and Ethelean Gipson (Cole). I attended Pierce Elementary School, Whittier Middle School, and graduated from Flint Central High School; class of 1968. At an early age I gave my life to Christ, and I used to attend North Central Church of Christ. In 1974 I became gainfully employed at Truck and Bus and was a loyal employee. After 33.8 years of dedication, I decid-ed to retire. So, on January 1, 2007, I became a retiree for a division of the General Motors Cooperation. “Am I right or am I wrong?” I took great interest in my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I was their number 1 fan. I’ve been told that I’m outgoing, energetic, friendly, and the life of a party. In fact, I agree! I loved and enjoyed dancing. I was a member of the Hasselbring Hustlers and Red Soul Line Dancing Divas. My favorite line dance was to “I Can’t Get Enough of You” by Ta-mia. One and two, three and four, five, six, seven, and eight! “Am I right or am I wrong?” I also en-joyed monthly dinners with my friends, high school, college, and professional (The Pistons) basketball games, and watching Law and Order. When it came to relaxing and appreciating music, I’d put on R. Kelly “Step in The Name of Love”, Marvin Gaye “Lets Get It On”, Smokey Robinson “Ooo Baby Ba-by”, and/or Al Green “Let’s Stay Together”. I probably should mention that salmon was my favorite food, but I also liked catfish, ice cream, and a good ole 3 Musketeers candy bar. I leave to cherish my memory: daughter, Veniece (Eric) Winston of Plano, TX; 5 grandchildren, Chris-topher Moore II, Trevon and Chavon Tiggs, all of Flint, MI; and Brandon and Braylon Winston of Pla-no, TX; 2 great-grandchildren, Mekhi Seales and Charleigh Thompson, both of Flint, MI; 1 sister, Ern-estine Hayman, of Grand Blanc, MI; 2 brothers, Oscar Gipson, of Jacksonville, FL and Samuel (Sheryl) Hariskins Jr., of Pontiac, MI; 11 nieces, Rhondala (Marcellus) Lewis, of Jacksonville, FL; Marci Moore, Tanya Jefferson, Angel (Darnell) Jamison, April (Alcus) Smith, Lisa Gipson, Janell Thompson Robin-son, Roshawnda and Rovonya Williams, all of Flint, MI; LaToya and Ebony Thompson, both of Auburn Hills, MI; Leticia (Brandon) Forker, Houston, TX; 1 nephew, Kyle Hayman, of Grand Blanc, MI; a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, great-nieces/nephews, other relatives, and friends including special friends: Traci Pollard, Carol Jones, Sherman Pollard, Brenda Clifton, Rosezell Bellamy, Jacqueline Furlow, Shirley Smith, and Diane Thompson. I was preceded in death by my; daughter, Tammy McCoy Gipson; parents, Samuel “Ernie Parker” Hariskins and Ethelean Cole; maternal and fraternal grandparents; brothers, Gerald Thompson, Warren Thompson, and Russell Keys; sister, Lucy Vernita Williams. I would like for my child and grandchildren to continue to make me proud and to know that I’m always watching over you. I would also like to express special thanks to my grandchildren Trevon and Chavon, Angel Manor, Majestic Care, McClaren Hospice, Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home, Pastor Derrick Al-dridge, Tanya Jefferson, and Patrice Moore “WeSee Mae”.
