Eleni "Lenny" Constantine Nasious Harrison

On Saturday morning, November 21, 2020, Eleni “Lenny” Constantine Nasious Harrison took her last breath at the age of 61. She is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was born on August 14, 1959 in Denver, CO. She was very active in school. She cheered, ran track (hurdles) and was a member of the diving team. She was very good with numbers, learned to speed read and she acquired a vast knowledge of the English language. She graduated from Temple Baptist Academy at the age of 16 then moved to Chattanooga to attend Tennessee Temple University where she met her husband and partner in life, Jerry Harrison. She earned a B.S. in Business Administration and graduated Magna Cum Laude while working full time. On January 23, 1979 she and Jerry were married. They raised one daughter, Rachel, and twin sons, Trevor and Travis. She home-schooled all three children while running a typesetting business, babysitting, and helping Jerry earn his degrees from TTU. She was an excellent cook and homemaker. She shared the creations made in her kitchen with many throughout her years. She was a great educator - willing to share her extensive knowledge with those fortunate to be around her - with a kind and humble spirit. She loved Chinese food, fried green tomatoes, chocolate, red roses, hot organic coffee, wind chimes, the fall colors, Tennessee trees, and her favorite colors were royal blue and purple. Dogs and cats were always a special part of her life. She valued holistic medicines and methods for her own treatment and she encouraged others on their journey to health with her time, finances, and skills. When she spoke about Jesus it was often through teary eyes. Filled with affection and adoration, it was clear that her security was found in Him and her faith in Him was unwavering. Ministry was interwoven into every aspect of her life - she was a great listener, she was gentle, she was wise, she asked piercing questions and she cared deeply for those who were hurting. Her relationships were “a mile deep and an inch wide.” She was a member of Brainerd Baptist Church and was an integral part of Celebrate Recovery at Brainerd Baptist and then later supported Jerry as he served as Ministry Leader and she held many leadership roles in CR at New City East Lake and Jones Memorial United Methodist Church. She served in CR for over 11 years. She had one of the most brilliant minds, brightest smiles, biggest hearts and beautiful souls. She gave everything she had to everything she did. Family was extremely important to her and she nurtured and protected it fiercely. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother (Yia-yia), sister and daughter that will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Gus Nasious & Zoé Sell. Survivors include her loving husband of almost 42 years, Jerry Harrison; step father, Mell Sell; step mother, Bessie Nasious; children, Rachel Harrison, Travis (Leah) Harrison and Trevor Harrison; sisters, Christina (Doug) Maudlin, Evangeline (Alexander) Mallas, Laurie Tapia and Rebekah (Luke) Maulsby; brothers, John Nasious, Nector Nasious and Robert "Bob" Sell; grandchildren, Joelle Harrison, Rylan Harrison and Travis Harrison Jr. and extended family & friends.
