Alice Harmon

Born March 24, 1929 in Ada, Oklahoma, to Thomas Patrick Barrett Jr. and Iris Iwillow (Wolery) Barrett

Alice was born in Ada and spent her early years living on an oil lease in Beggs, Oklahoma, where her father was the manager of several leases in the area. After her father's death in 1938, the family moved to Okmulgee and later Tulsa. She attended Holy Family High School in Tulsa, graduating in the Class of 1947. Following graduation, Alice became a telephone operator for Bell Telephone and remained with the company until her retirement in 1985.

Alice married Fred Harmon in 1962 and they moved to Owasso to raise their family and retire. She was a member of St. Henry's Catholic Church in Owasso where she was an active member which included The Altar Society and Women's Club. Her interests included genealogy, sewing, gardening and crafts.

Preceded in death by her husband, Fred R. Harmon Sr.; her sister, Catherine Leary; nieces, Laura Leary Bolster, Tereasa Harmon Beaty; and nephew, Thomas Leary. She was also preceded in death by a succession of dogs she adopted or rescued who were blissfully unaware they were actually pets and not her children.

She is survived by her daughter, Patty Harmon, Owasso; son, Fred Harmon and wife, Aly of Amarillo Texas; grandchildren, Samantha (Parker) Markham of Topeka, Kansas, Ashley Harmon of Stillwater; Alexandra Haughey, Ashleigh Haughey, William Harmon, and Luke Harmon of Amarillo; nieces, Linda (Doug) Kenney of Melbourne, Florida, Alice (Ray) White of Athens, Vermont, and Charlotte (Jack) Potter of Bartlett, Tennessee.

The family would like to thank the Rolling Hills Care Center for the excellent care they provided over the last three years as she struggled with dementia.
