Frances Karen Jacobson Harmon returned to her heavenly home on April 30, 2021 from Orem, Utah.
She was born on May 5, 1936 in Provo, Utah.
Karen was often found creating and making by hand beautiful floral arrangements, crafts, bows, ornaments and decorations for any occasion and all holidays. She was the crafting lady who loved to decorate her home by hand with love.
She had a wonderfully amazing memory, which made her a great historian and chef. She would cook from memory as well as create her own masterpieces. She kept her brain sharp doing crossword puzzles and brain teasers and by retelling stories about all the people she knew or read about.
She loved being a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She did not let distance keep her from being a part of her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s lives. She may have been small in size, but her heart and tenacity more than made up the difference. She was a hard worker, whether on the job or at home. She had a quick wit and a great sense of humor, often doubling people over from laughter. She was a loved and beloved mother and will be greatly missed. Until we meet again.
She is survived by her sister, Marilyn (Gregory deceased) Loader; her children, R. Bradley (Andrea) Harmon, R. Bruce Harmon, JaNae (Ben) Miller, Janice Harmon and JaLayne Newsome; her grandchildren: Brad’s children, Jennifer (Jeffrey) Wall, Christopher Harmon (Corby Bivans) and Sarah Harmon; JaNae’s children, Hyrum and Hope Miller; and JaLayne’s children, Aleia and T’yanna Newsome; her four great grandchildren: Jennifer’s children, Carson, Maylee, Zander and Daphne Wall.
She was preceded by her husband of 37 years, Murray Lawrence Harmon; her parents, William LeRoy and Mildred Slaughter Jacobson; her siblings, Betty (Robert) Harrison, Yvonne (Bonnie) (Rich) Fisher, and Richard (Dick) (Carma) Jacobson.
There will be a memorial on Saturday, May 15, 2021 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Lakeridge Stake Center, located at 158 East 1100 South, Orem, Utah.
