Bonners Ferry Herald, Thursday August 9, 2007
   Frances Ruth Smith Harms was born on November 15, 1933, to Sam M. and Susie
Unruh Smith in Gray County, Kansas. She peacefully passed away at home on July
30, 2007, at the age of 73 years. Funeral services will be held at 10:30am at
the Mt. View Mennonite Church in Bonners Ferry with burial following in the Mt.
View Mennonite Cemetery. 
   Frances grew to womanhood in the Copeland, Kansas, community. 
On May 23, 1948, after giving her heart to the Lord Jesus, Minister Vernon
Nightingale baptized her into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. She
embraced this faith to the end. 
Frances was joined in marriage to Eugene Harms on January 16, 1952, by Minister
Vernon Nightingale. They began their married life in Ulysses, Kansas, and
enjoyed a very close relationship for 55 years. This union was blessed with four
sons and one daughter. 
   They spent 26 years in Ulysses, Kansas, on the family farm. Family and
friends enjoyed her homemaking skills and hospitality. They, as a family,
appreciated her charitable spirit toward others. In 1978 they moved to Bonners
Ferry, Idaho, where she spent the last 28 years of her life. She loved the
mountains and found joy is observing nature, listening to birdsong, and tending
her many beautiful flowers. Spending time with her grandchildren was very
special to her. She often prayed for them. 
After a five month battle with cancer, the family was blessed with her radiant
face and smile as the Lord came to take her home. 
   Those left to cherish memories are her husband, Eugene Harms, Bonners Ferry,
Idaho; and four sons: Arnold and Diane Harms, Ivins, Utah; Cecil and Carol
Harms, Murtaugh, Idaho; Troy and Sue Harms, Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Wade and
Elaine Harms, Hazelton, Idaho; one daughter; Doreen and Jeremy Amoth, Bonners

brother-in-law: Pete Koehn, Cimarron, Kansas. She was preceded in death by her
