HARMON

Nola Lee Ann Patterson Harmon went home to her Lord on Wednesday, December 1, 
2010, at the Robert Lee Care Center.

Visitation was all day Friday, December 3, 2010, at the funeral home with the 
family present from 5 pm to 7 pm.  Funeral service was at 2 pm Saturday, 
December 4, 2010, at Robert Lee Baptist Church with burial following at 
Robert Lee Cemetery.  Services were under the direction of Shaffer Funeral Home,
Robert Lee.

Nola was born October 4, 1917, in Coke County to Bob and Ninnie Patterson.  She 
graduated from Robert Lee High School in 1936.  That same year, she married 
Crowley Harmon and spent 55 wonderful years with him before his death on 
December 6, 1991.  She was liked by all who knew her.  She was a great cook and 
even in later years could be seen carrying goodies to her friends and neighbors.  
She was a wonderful mother to her sons and for a time worked outside the home 
as a cook at the former Robert Lee Hospital and as an employee at Bill Trimble’s 
laundry.  She also did some housework for others.

She was a lifelong follower of Christ and was a faithful member in attending 
Pecan Baptist Church and the Robert Lee Baptist Church.  She was born again 
and baptized in July 1930.

Nola was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and siblings, S.C., R.C., 
Herman, Clifford, Eddie Patterson and Illa Bell Compton.

She is survived by sons, Jerrel (Lavelle), James (Blanche); sister, Zada Denman; 
grandchildren, Clint and Brint Harmon, Dana Woodfin, Sherry Copeland, and Lisa Fite.  
She was very proud of her grandchildren and her ten great-grandchildren and many 
loving nieces and nephews.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the Robert Lee Care Center and Vista Care of 
San Angelo.  They made this difficult journey much easier for all of us.

To Nola, Mom, MaMa – we loved you and miss you!
