She was expecting the arrival of a new great-grandchild in December. Nina was blessed with many caring nieces and nephews from both sides of her family who were so very kind to her. Daughter-in-law Rhonda Harman and grandson, Kevin Vargason preceded her in death.

The farm near Wolf’s Corners where Nina and Bud worked together and raised their family was recognized with a Century Farm Award for being in the Harman family for more than 100 years. For many years Nina served as the secretary for the Wolf’s Corners Fair Association as well as the Cook Forest Easter Sunrise Service. After her children entered high school, Nina worked for the Long Acres Potato Farm, as well as for Alice Jamison and Florida and J. Kepler Davis. She then began as a long-term employee in the Register and Recorders Office at the Clarion County Courthouse from which she eventually retired. She was a member of Morris Chapter Order of Eastern Star, Past Matron of Sylvania Chapter OES. She was a member of the Fryburg Sportsman’s Club. She and Bud enjoyed playing bingo and cards, especially Euchre which she enjoyed weekly for many years at the Fryburg Sportsman’s Club. Many friends were made over the years, including at music events, fairs, and festivals.

Nina enjoyed many visits to Nashville with Bud, as well as trips to places like the Great Smoky Mountains, Branson, Yellowstone National Park and Wyoming to visit family, and to Alaska on a family cruise.

You could always find Nina and Bud together enjoying each other and taking in all the activities around them they could. They are finally reunited after 69 years of marriage.
