Levita Ann Harner

Levita Ann (Lane) Harner was born on September 5, 1943 in Springdale, AR to Harry Fred and Leona Belle Lane. She was the oldest of eight children. After a lengthy career in banking which began at McIlroy Bank in Fayetteville, Levita worked for First National Bank, First Security Bank and Signature Bank before retiring at 67.

Levita lived a full life devoted to her grandkids and everything they were ever involved in from recitals to graduations to weddings and great-grand babies. She cruised with them to the Caribbean and Mexico. Levita went on trips to Italy, Israel, Washington D.C. and New York City with her family. Levita with her sisters and mother traveled to Oregon, Tennessee and all around the South. She loved seeing new places with the people she loved. After suffering a major stroke in July 2011, she was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia which she dealt with for more than 14 years. Though robbed of many of her memories, she never forgot the names and faces of those dearests to her. She dealt with many falls, fractures and breaks while living at home and then in Assisted Living and the nursing home. After breaking her right hip and trying to recover, she passed away peacefully at age 82 on November 23, 2025 surrounded by her family. She was proceeded in death by both parents; her dear husband, Charles Richard Harner; one sister, Carolyn Jane.
