Elizabeth Harmon

Mrs. Elizabeth Harmon, passed away June 19, 2018 at Forsyth Hospital. She had such a great faith in the Lord and shared it with her family and whoever she came in contact with. She always insisted we use correct grammar and I just failed her. Sorry Mom. Lib was born in Clarksville, TN January 22, 1926 to Aileen and William Dickerson and grew up in Spartanburg, SC with her 9 brothers and sisters. She attended Virginia Intermont College and graduated from High Point College with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She met her husband, James Garland Harmon there and they were married right after graduation. They lived in Raleigh where 2 of their children were born and later in Richmond where their youngest was born. The next move was to Columbia, SC and to listen to all of us remember those years, they were the happiest. The last move was to Winston Salem where Lib taught in the WS school system for 30 years. After retiring she was busier than ever volunteering at The Enrichment Center, Forsyth Prison Ministry, Forsyth Hospital ICU and her favorite - telling stories to the students at Northwest Elementary School. Her brothers and sisters and husband preceded her in death. She is survived by her children, Phil of Staunton, VA, Colleen Ransom (Randy) of Clemmons, NC and Dicky Harmon (Jan) of Clemmons, NC, her 7 grandchildren and her 10 great-grandchildren. The Family would like to thank the staff at Mallard Ridge Assisted Living, especially those in the Horizons Unit, where Lib spent her final years. In addition, the family wants to thank the staff in the Forsyth Hospital Palliative Care unit who gave Lib such gentle care and gave her family such peace. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Friedberg Moravian Church Discretionary Fund as Mom never let a request for help go unanswered. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at Friedberg Moravian Church with Rev. Dan Nelson officiating with burial to follow in the church graveyard. The family will receive friends from 9:45 am to 10:45 am prior to the service at the church.
