She was born November 2, 1912 in Cottonport, Louisiana. She and her husband owned and operated a grocery business for 26 years. She served on the Administrative Board of First United Methodist Church, where she had taught Sunday School and held offices in both womens organizations of the church. She was an active member of Eastern Star, holding several offices, and was president of the American Legion Auxiliary during its early years. She served as president of Red Radiance Garden Club, and was a member of the Auxiliary at Grainger Nursing Home and The Springs. She was a Trustee for the Hughes Springs Cemetery Association for over 20 years. Humanitarian is the word that well described her. Aside from spending time with her adoring family, her greatest pleasure came from taking food and visiting with those who were sick or shut in, and for this she has touched the lives of many. The words of Henry Drummond best explain Mrs. Harmon's life philosphy: "You will find as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of Love." Mrs. Harmon is survived by her only child Donna and her loving husband Winston Parrish of Arlington; grandson Eric Eastland and wife Susan of Weatherford; granddaughter Angie and husband Allen of Arlington. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, McKenna, Keifer and Allena Avery and Tori Eastland. She was preceded in death by her husband L.D. Don Harmon.
