Laurel Jeannine Harmon

Laurel Janine Harmon, 59, of Twin Falls, Idaho, passed away at her home unexpectedly on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2009. She was born Feb. 21, 1950, in Twin Falls, to Charles and Rosalie Francin Harmon. She worked in agriculture for approximately 30 years. Laurel was an outdoor girl, nature-lover and an avid gardener. She always kept an eye on the environment and was careful to not use harmful chemicals or compounds while growing her beloved flowers or tomatoes. Laurel was a person who loved giving of herself and doing all she could for others. She loved working for LINK, where she enjoyed assisting the disabled and elderly. Currently, she was assisting with the needs of refugees, particularly one family from Iraq. She was selfless to a fault and could always be counted on to take in a stray, as was evidenced by her 16 kitties that she adored. Laurel had a special closeness with her nieces and nephews, and especially shared a tight bond with her grandson, Dylan, who loved to spend every weekend with her. Laurel considered her family the light of her life. She is survived by her parents, Charles and Rosalie Harmon of West Magic, Idaho; a brother, David Harmon of Oregon; adopted daughter, Kimber Harmon of Twin Falls; grandson, Dylan; and her beloved nieces and nephews, Matthew and Cory Farnworth, and Kari Ann Bagley. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Debbie and Dixie. A memorial service for Laurel will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, at the Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home, 2551 Kimberly Road in Twin Falls. Inurnment will be held at the West End Cemetery in Buhl, Idaho.
