Obituary For Wanda Yvonne McClerkin
Wanda Yvonne McClerkin transitioned from this world to a land of rest on July 23, 2021. She was born in Oxford, NC on February 19, 1967 to Juanita McClerkin and the late Henry Thomas Davis. She was also preceded in death by Dorethea Hert and Davette McClary.
Wanda attended the Guilford County Public Schools, and was a graduate of T. Wingate Andrews High School, the rival school to High Point Central High School, where her high school sweetheart Fredrick “Rick” Harris was enrolled. Wanda met Rick one night at the Zodiac Club while he was playing the drums with his band Shamm Productions. Over the next 30 years, she and Rick built their lives here in High Point, where they raised their two beautiful children: Paislee Lajoy and Fredrick Tyree Harris.
Wanda loved reading romance and thriller novels, when she wasn’t sneaking candy into the movie theater to watch the new releases. She was a server at Sir Pizza for thirty-five years, where she brought joy to so many customers and built life-long friendships with the staff. Many also know Wanda from the High Point Country Club where she worked as a prep cook for twenty-two years. Wanda was everyone’s favorite and she will forever be missed by her loving sweetheart, Fredrick “Rick” Harris; her two beautiful children, Paislee Lajoy and Fredrick Tyree Harris; two grandchildren, Bryson White and Raja Bell (“Drama” boys, whom she spoiled tremendously); her mother, Juanita McClerkin; her siblings, Donna McClerkin, Dawn McClerkin, Tabbatha Baker, Lisa Ragland, and Henry Thomas. Wanda had a special relationship with sister cousins, Charla Cooper and Bernadette Cozart. She also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
Funeral service will held Saturday, July 31, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. at Mount Zion Baptist Church, 753 East Washington Drive. Interment will follow at Guil-Rand Memorial Park. The family will receive friends at the church from 2:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Final arrangements are entrusted to Phillips Funeral Service, Inc.

Praying for the Mcclerklin Family Especially Tabatha Mcclerklin💔 From Toni Witherspoon And Family 💕🙏🌹🥝
I am in disbelief. I had to talk to God about this one. I told Him I don't understand and He reminded me of His word; Proverbs 3:5, Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. We don't have any other options. It hurts and I must accept God's plan. I love you McClerkin/Harris Family. Tonia
Pais, Ty and the rest of the Mcclerkin family, my love and deepest condolences!! She was definitely one of a kind. She always treated me as her own. This one hurt, I'm definitely going to miss that smile but most importantly YOU!! I will love you forever! Fly high mama!! ❤️Sierra Smitherman
