Abbie Jane Harper

Abbie Jane Harper, age 23, of Maryville, Tennessee, entered into eternal peace on November 14th, 2013. Abbie was born on April 16th, 1990, to the parents of Kenneth and Leyanne Harper. Abbie graduated for Maryville High School in 2008, Miami University (Ohio) in 2012 and was in her second year of law school at the University of Chicago pursuing her dream to help internationally underprivileged communities. Abbies passions were writing, art, traveling, competing at anything, but most important to Abbie were family and faith. Along with her parents, survivors include her three sisters, Evan Harper, Anna Harper and Lauren Harper Xixis, her husband Andrew Xixis and Abbies treasured nephew, Alexander Xixis. She is also survived by her maternal grandparents, Richard and Peggy Abbott and her paternal grandparents, Delbert and Lawana Harper. Abbie was immensely loved by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins that all played an important part in her life. A celebration of Abbies life will be held at Maryville First Baptist Church on Monday, November 18th, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. Immediately following the service will be a reception for family and friends in the fellowship hall.
