Virginia Avon Harmon, age 99, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, departed this life on Friday morning, May 29, 2026, at House of Three in Rogers, Arkansas.

Virginia was born on April 2, 1927, in Belva, Oklahoma, the fifth of ten children born to the late Thomas and Beulah (Brown) Inman. She was raised on the family farm near Waynoka, Oklahoma, and was a graduate of Cheyenne Valley High School.

On May 25, 1945, Virginia was united in marriage to Stanley LaGrand Harmon, and together they shared more than 52 years of marriage until his passing on December 3, 1997. To this union, five children were born, and Virginia devoted herself to her family as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a homemaker throughout her life and took great pride in creating a warm and caring home for those she loved.

Virginia and Stanley started their home as farmers in Oklahoma, later moving to Wichita and in Washington state before returning to Oklahoma in 1972. In 1982, they moved to McDonald County, Missouri. In 2014, Virginia moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas, to be closer to her daughter Lorita.

She was an active member of the Bella Vista Church of the Nazarene and found strength and fellowship in her church family. Virginia also enjoyed traveling with Stanley in their RV, and she especially loved quilting and crocheting.
