HEBER HARMON

HEBER "ACE" HARMON 1921 - 2010 Heber Harmon, known to all as Ace, joined God's Heavenly singers on Sunday February 7, 2010. He was born on July 25, 1921 in Idmon, Idaho, the youngest of four children born to Martin Harmon and Effie Sharp Harmon. He was raised and educated in Eastern Idaho, until joining the Navy in 1943 during World War II. He was discharged in 1946 and married Betty Lou Haney Sept. 10, 1948. Music was their common thread and they began playing music professionally. Ace was an accomplished musician and maintained a love of music throughout his life. Playing music took him to Nevada where he and Betty Lou settled down to raise their family. Ace was employed by Barton's Club 93 for 30 years until he retired to care for Betty Lou whose health had failed. Dad was a wonderful caregiver for Mom during the last 7 years of her life. He cooked, cleaned, did laundry, and made beds, never complaining. After losing his wife of 50 years, at the age of 78, Dad was still ambitious and held several part time jobs. At the time of Dad's death, he was residing at Curry Retirement Estates in Twin Falls. Word's cannot express the gratitude the family feels about the exceptional love and care that Dad received from Melissa, Barbara, and the entire staff at Curry. Ace is survived by 5 daughters. Sandy (Dan) Egbert of Ogden Utah, Sharyn Poggi of Twin Falls Idaho, Kris Stone of Twin Falls Idaho, Carolyn Chriswell of Hazelton, Idaho, and Judy (Lyle) McClimans of Jerome, Idaho. He has 19 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. Ace was preceded in death by his wife Betty Lou, both of his parents, a grandson Steven Smalley, his brother and two sisters, a son-in-law Troy Stone, and a great-great grandson.
