Jeanifer Harris

Jeanifer Harris was known to family and friends in Dallas as a devoted daughter and a familiar presence in her community. Born March 1, 1986, she is identified in funeral-home records as the daughter of John Lewis Harris and Joanna Moore. Those records indicate she was 37 years old at the time of her death.

Public notices show that Jeanifer’s life was surrounded by people who cared for her. The funeral-home listing that memorialized her describes services arranged by Dante Jelks Funeral Home, and lists family members who survived her. While the public record provides relatively few personal details about her daily life, the names attached to her obituary and condolence messages reflect real relationships and a circle of family and friends who sought to honor her memory.

In late November 2023 Jeanifer suffered fatal injuries in a shooting in Dallas. Local law-enforcement summaries and local reporting note the event and its tragic outcome; these sources record that she was found wounded on November 26, 2023 and later died of her injuries. Out of respect for her family and the privacy of those grieving, the emphasis here is on Jeanifer’s life and relationships rather than on the circumstances of her death.

Those who knew Jeanifer chose to remember her through funeral services and messages of condolence. The available memorial notices show friends and relatives gathering to celebrate her life and to offer support to one another. Though public details are limited, the formal arrangements and the names of family members make clear that she mattered deeply to people who loved her.

Jeanifer’s life, like every life, was more than the public record can fully capture. She is mourned by family and friends who carry forward their memories of her presence, and by a community touched by her loss. May her memory be honored by those who loved her and may they find comfort in one another during this difficult time.
