Vernetta Senigaur Harrison was born on December 18, 1925. She was one of twelve children welcomed to this large and loving family. Her generous spirit entered this world and would bless her family and community for an entire century. She lived a long, full life marked by faith and a deep love for the people around her. Her presence brought comfort, her wisdom offered guidance, and her kindness left an imprint on every life she touched. She believed in doing things the right way, loving people sincerely, and honoring God in all things.

Throughout her life, Vernetta was a source of encouragement to her family, and a keeper of traditions that connected generations. Her stories, laughter and gentleness will continue to echo in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. As we celebrate her life, we give thanks for the years God allowed her to walk among us—years filled with purpose, compassion, and quiet beauty. Though she has departed this earthly home, her legacy of love endures, and her memory will remain a blessing.

Vernetta completed her remarkable earthly journey on March 22, 2026 at the blessed age of 100. Her century of life was marked by faith, family, hard work, and a steady spirit that touched everyone who knew her.

Her spiritual foundation was laid early at Christ Sanctified Holy Church, where she attended as a child. She graduated from Hebert High School in 1942, beginning a life defined by determination and purpose.

A gifted and dedicated businesswoman, Vernetta—alongside her late husband, Thomas J. Harrison, Jr.—owned and operated a successful service station and mechanic shop on Washington Boulevard in Beaumont, Texas for many years. Their partnership, both in business and in life, became a cherished part of the community's history.

Her journey later led her to Houston, where she attended Saint John Church and worked at Foley's Department Store and Stop & Go Convenience Store. When her mother's health required care, Vernetta returned to Beaumont without hesitation, embodying the loyalty and devotion that defined her character. She continued serving her community through the decorating department of the Mission at Greater Good Hope Baptist Church where her creativity and joyful spirit were displayed.

Preceding her in death were her beloved son and best friend, Tommy Harrison; her former husband, Thomas J. Harrison, Jr.; her parents, Alphonse and Elizabeth Senigaur; her sisters Zeola Cooper, Katherine Hawthorne and Joyce Bates; and her brothers Jesse Senigaur, Lee Audrey Senigaur, Alphonse Senigaur, Jr., Percival Senigaur, Isreal Senigaur and Edward Senigaur.

She is survived by her youngest, faithful, and devoted brother, Eddie Senigaur (Shirley) and a host of nieces and nephews, all of whom were blessed by her love, humor, and generosity.

Vernetta lived life with a celebratory spirit. Entertaining family and friends brought her joy, and no special occasion ever went unnoticed. Shopping trips with her sisters and sister‑in‑law were among her favorite pastimes.

We cannot speak of her life without mentioning something that delighted her more than words could say: her great‑niece, lovingly called Lil' Vernetta, carries her name into the next generation. Knowing that her name would live on in the family was a blessing that warmed her heart.

Even in her later years, Vernetta used her cell phone with curiosity and joy, staying connected with family and friends through conversations and pictures.

A woman of grace, humor and deep affection, Vernetta leaves a legacy woven through generations. A long, full, and beautifully lived life now rests in God's hands, and her memory will remain a blessing to all who loved her.
