90 Years. 90 Stories.

Kelly Harris

Kelly is a Purcell Properties Controller for Purcell Tire and has been with the company for over 6 years.

I grew up in Potosi and always knew that Purcell was here, but I had big goals to leave this town and never come back. Funny how life has different plans. In 2019 my husband Brian and son Levi moved back home from the Springfield, Missouri area to be closer to my parents, and in June 2020 I started as an Accountant at Purcell. If you had told 20-year-old me that this is where I would be, I would have said you were a liar, but I can't imagine being anywhere else. In 2024 I was promoted to the Controller role of the Properties companies and it has been such an honor to get to know Bob & Juanita on a more personal level, to hear all of their adventures of their careers, and to be involved in the planning for the Company's future beyond 90 years. They are both such an inspiration in business and proof that with hard work you can do anything. Purcell is where I've made some of the greatest friendships of my adult life, and it is where I hope to retire from down the road. Potosi and our community are blessed to have such an outstanding company headquartered right here!
