When Love Prevails: Story of Mary Ellen Townsend Harris

By Hugh Harris

Now and again you encounter someone whose life embodies values many people espouse, but few exemplify. Mary Ellen Townsend Harris was one such person. From the gentle wisdom of her Quaker father she garnered a spiritual sensitivity that produced an all-encompassing fruitfulness of compassionate love, which became contagious to those who knew her. Mary Ellen believed in the intrinsic value of every human being as a unique creation of a good and loving God, created for a good purpose. She saw it as her responsibility to seek the good in others, even when it was masked by hardship or suffering. She was well-acquainted with grief, having lived through drastic cultural shifts that included the Great Depression, World War II, the challenges of raising two handicapped children, and the expansive world that emerged with the Space Age, and the transformation of life in the digital age of a new century. Across the span of 105 years, Mary became an inspiration to people. She still casts a radiance calling us into the possibilities that emerge when love prevails at the heart of one's being.
