Michelle Harmon

Michelle (Garrett) Harmon was born November 18, 1968 in Des Moines, Iowa to Michael and Terri (Hardenbrook) Garrett. She passed away Friday, February 28, 2020 at the age of 51 after a lengthy illness.

She is survived by her loving husband of almost 29 years, Kevin; her children, Jordan (Emily) Harmon, Kenna (Reed Little) Harmon, and Keeli Harmon; granddaughter, Evelyn Harmon; parents, Terri and Jim Akins and Mike Garrett; siblings, Missy (Pete) Nelson, Jason Garrett, and Amy (Pete) Kariotis; nieces and nephews, Nick, Nathan, Brooklynn, Eleni, and Brinklee; grandparents, Margaret Akins and Merle Bates; parents-in-law, Larry and Phyllis Harmon; sister and brother-in-law, Kelly and Chuck Thompson; and many other loving family members and countless friends.

Michelle was preceded in death by her grandparents, Jean Hardenbrook, Jack Hardenbrook, Ruth Bates, and Howard Akins; and her cousin, Renee Roberts.

Michelle loved little get-aways with Kevin and her family, especially to the Amanas and Lake Thunderhead. She was extremely artsy and very talented when it came to any type of craft, but she especially shined when she was creating flower arrangements. She enjoyed reading, and you would mostly likely find a risqué novel in her hands.

Michelle treasured time spent with her family, especially her beloved granddaughter, Evelyn. Michelle’s favorite title in the whole world was “Grandma Shell” and she melted whenever she heard those sweet words out of her little “best friend”, Evelyn. Michelle’s family meant everything to her, they were her whole world. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt – she loved her nieces and nephews with her whole heart.

“For them I risked it all”
“Because of her I will not fall”
