A number of community organizations where Harris, a longtime Powelton resident and green space advocate, has been involved with posted their messages grieving her tragic death. 

“Winnie was the beating heart of UC Green: fiercely protective of the many youth who got their first job with the Green Corps, meticulously organized in coordinating thousands of volunteers in tree plantings and community events, and a beloved figure to the many neighbors that benefited from her tireless passion for a greener Philadelphia,” UC Green’s Facebook post reads. “She will be dearly missed.”

The Friends of Clark Park, where Harris was coordinating recent Christmas Tree Recycling and MLK Day of Service events, have posted the following message on their website:

“Winnie was a tireless advocate for building community through care of each other and care of our neighborhood, and was a beloved friend of Clark Park. Her life being cut short is an enormous loss and she will be greatly missed.”

Harris, 65, was found shot to death in her West Powelton home on the 300 block of N. Holly St. on Friday, Feb. 3. So far no arrests have been made. The investigation continues.
