A celebration of the life of Mrs. Evelyn Ruth Harlon will be held at 2:00 pm

Evelyn Ruth Harlon joined her beloved husband Charles in glory on Sunday,

Louisiana to O.H. and Iwa Gilbert, she was a graduate of Hico High School 
and Louisiana Tech University. She was a dedicated educator for more than 
thirty years teaching at elementary schools in Texas and Louisiana. A 
devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Mrs. Harlon delighted in serving her 
Lord by supporting her husband's pastoral ministry. She enjoyed sewing, 
cooking, bible study, prayer, and the company of friends and family.

Mrs. Harlon is preceded in death by her husband of fifty-one years, Rev 
Charles Harlon; her parents; brothers, John D. Gilbert and James H. Gilbert, 
and sister-in law, Bea Fontenot.

Survivors include one daughter, Julia Harlon of Shreveport; son, Alan Harlon 
of DeRidder; granddaughter, Brooke Shirley of Ruston; grandson, Chance 
Harlon of DeRidder as well as a host of nieces and nephews. She had most 
recently been a resident of DeRidder, Louisiana and Shreveport, Louisiana.

The family wishes to thank the many friends who prayed, visited and offered 
other acts of support during Mrs. Harlon's illness. Special thanks are also 
extended to the physicians and staff of Beauregard Memorial Hospital, Heart 
of Hospice, Westwood Manor Nursing Home, and Promise Hospital of Shreveport 
for the care and kindness they provided.

Rather than flowers, Mrs Harlon preferred any memorials be offered to local 
churches or to the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home. To leave an online
