Jill Harmon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 6, 2022.
Jill Welborn Harmon was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, sister-in-law, and friend. She left this world on April 3, 2022, to run into the arms of Jesus. Her battle with serious medical issues most of her life showed her fortitude as she remained joyful during all the challenges.
Jill was born July 8, 1969, to Dr. Robert and Pat Welborn in Lake Charles, La. She graduated from LSU, where she met Scott Harmon, the man she would marry on August 17, 1991. Together they had one son, Grant, whom she described as "the greatest thing that ever happened to her."
Jill's passion was her faith, and she lived it daily, loving her family and friends completely while also having a heart for those most in need. She truly enjoyed visiting shut-ins, bringing communion to those who couldn't attend church, befriending the lonely, and to all being an excellent confidant. In addition, Jill was an incredible cook, loved fishing, rodeos, playing cards/games, crawfish, camping, music, singing, bible studies, mowing, horse-riding, praying, and sitting on a porch swing with a friend and lemonade.
Her infectious laughter and beautiful smile will be remembered by all who knew her.
She asked that everyone remember to "carry on spreading the love of Jesus with joy."
Jill is survived by her husband Scott Harmon; her son Grant Harmon (Callie) and their soon to be born daughter; her parents Robert and Pat Welborn; her brother Bobby Welborn (Jonan) and their daughter Jordan; her brother-in-law Tim Harmon (Christie) and their children Abby and Brady; her sister-in-law Donna Hollier and her children Jeremy and Lauren; and her in-laws Ron and Judy Harmon.
Jill was predeceased by grandparents Dallas and Florence Branch and Amy and Ewell Welborn.
Visitation will be 5:00-7:00 pm, followed by a Vigil Rosary on Thursday, April 7, 2022, at St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church in Spring, TX.
Reverend Justin Cormie, Parochial Vicar of St. Ignatius Loyola, will preside over the Funeral Mass, held Friday, April 8, 2022, at 11:00 am at St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church in Spring, TX.
On Saturday, April 9, 2022, the Committal service will be at 1:00pm at New Ritchie Cemetery on Clyde Delaney Rd. in Moss Bluff, La.
In Lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital and Charlie's Angels Center Foundation.
For those unable to attend, the funeral will be live-streamed on YouTube search St. Ignatius Loyola Spring or on Facebook @ignatiusloyolaac.

These photos were taken on bid day our sophomore year at LSU. The picture of the 2 of us is myself, Amy Culpepper Landreneau, with Jill. The photo with all 4 of us is the "JAMA House pic": Jill, Annette, Megan, & Amy. We had a blast living together that year and made lots of memories. Jill ALWAYS had a huge smile on her face! She became known as Mama Jill in our apartment as she became the meal planner, told us which week we were to do the shopping, etc. Basically, she kept our lives running like clockwork in a fun & joyous way. I loved and admired Jill so much and it broke my heart to hear of her loss, especially to Scott & Grant. I lost my husband to colon cancer when we were 40 and our children were 8, 10, & 12. It´s a tragedy, but I know you all will still feel Jill´s love in your hearts and will always carry it with you! My thoughts & prayers are with you daily!!

She was truly one of the most beautiful people that I have met inside and out. I wanted to let her son know how proud she was of him and how beamingly she talked of him to me.

Such a bright, strong person and great influence to so many people. Brenda and I pray for you, Grant, and your entire family to enjoy the peace of knowing where she is now. Scott, you have been such a positive influence on my life as well as I have watched you, your family, and career grow being the strong and bright person you are too! The Harmon's are such a great family. Jim & Brenda Morris

Words cannot express the sorrow we felt to learn that Jill had passed away. Our daughter, Amy, Jill and two others shared their first apartment while at LSU. To say that our family fell in love with Jill would be an understatement. Her beauty was undeniable, her character unsurpassable. We will forever treasure our memories and will ask our Lord to strengthen your hearts in the coming days.

Robert and Pat, we are so sad to read about Jill's passing. She was such a beautiful and gracious person, and we really only "knew" her as a teen. From reading about her and her life, it is easy to tell that she only gained in virtues. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. She is at peace in the presence of our Lord. God bless you and yours! Janell and Hunter Perrin

Scott, Brandt and Jill's family. My heartfelt condolence on your loss. I've fond memories when we would gather at your home for ACTS choir practice. Jill was an inspiration to those of us who shared ACRS Sisterhood, as well as all in the St. Matthew ACTS family. Thank you for sharing her with us. May God grant you peace and comfort withoug the presence of her smiling face.

I worked for Jill's dad for 20 plus years. I can truly say with all my heart that knowing Jill was one of the greatest honors of my life. She was absolutely a pleasure in every way.....the most exceptional young girl/young woman I have had the honor to know. She will always be in my heart. Love and prayers to all of her family.
