This home was built by her father Edgar Harrell. He was a carpenter and built the home. He worked day and night to ensure it was a masterpiece. He was truly a determined and hardworking man. She spent most of her life in New Orleans, LA., until Hurricane Katrina in 2005. She lost her home in the hurricane and was forced to relocate to Kentwood, Louisiana with her second cousin Antoinette Harrell. The home was located on St. Bernard Ave. Right across the street from the St. Bernard Project and off I-10 Interstate.
