Youree Harris-died Tuesday, diagnosed with colon cancer that spread to her liver and lungs.
Miss Cleo had a good run.
Although by the time social media began, she was out of the tarot card reading and psychic business; she came across our minds as, by that time, the ghost had been given up: We’d heard the woman famous for catch-phrasing in patois “Call Me Now!” was just an ordinary woman living in L.A somewhere enjoying the fruits of her labor we savored in analog.

Fast forward.
Through all dial-up, and AOL broadband mailers and Juno packages, although Miss Cleo didn’t get in on this Wi-fi life, she will always be a reminder of times like such.
Although we came to know her as Miss Cleo, Youree Harris had a real life as, it’s reported she was living well and surrounded by family and friends in Palm Beach Florida at the time of her passing who saw her through.
Miss Clio done crossed over. Now she's kickin w the spirits.
