Norma Neola Harger
February 14, 2020
God answered Mom’s last prayer when He took her home on February 14, 2020. As her citizenship is now in heaven with her heavenly Father, the celebration of Mom’s homecoming will be held Tuesday, February 18, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at New Hope Assembly of God Church, 4425 70th St. in Urbandale, IA. Family will greet friends following the service.
Mom loved her Lord and was active in the church. How appropriate God took her home on Valentine’s Day to be reunited with her husband of 51 years, her parents, her sisters, brother, and friends who have preceded her.
Mom’s professional career began as a cake decorator and teacher. Later, she and Dad owned and operated Harger’s Sundries Store in Dallas Center, followed by employment with American Family, and finally working as a secretary at Olivett Baptist. Her hobbies included genealogy, painting, reading, sewing, and playing hymns on her organ.
She is survived by her children, Bruce (Peggy) Harger, Marvin (Dodie) Harger, Irene Montgomery and Howard (Judy) Harger. She was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Sue Harger; and son-in-law, Bernie Montgomery.

Jane and I wish to offer our condolences, Marv, to you and Dodie and your family and friends. We intended on attending service this morning, but we both have colds, one thing we do not wish to share. Your Parents were strong in their Faith as were our Parents, the greatest gift of all. I think about our days at RRD, good and bad. I learned what a caring, loving person you are and will never forget your kindness. God Bless. Ralph&Jane

I remember Norma faintly, but I remember she took me and my older brother, Jared, out for ice cream. She was such a nice lady. I'm so sorry about your loss. Always in my prayers

Howard sorry to hear the news about your mom. She ran a heck of a race and I'm sure that she will dwell in the house of our Lord for eternity.

Bruce and I were good friends during our high school days and so I met Norma before they bought the drug store. She put up with us kids and always had a smile. Sad to hear of her passing and my most sincere condolences to the family. Know she is now at peace and with the family that went before. So REST in Peace Norma.

Norma was such a special lady. When I was working on getting my parents 50th wedding anniversary party put together, she happened to be in the church, and she took my kids out for ice cream in order to help them have some fun and keep them out from under foot for a little while. She was always there with a smile, an encouraging word and kindness. Heaven is an even better place now that Norma is home!
