Clara Maxine Harmon, 81, passed away early Thursday morning.
She had lived in Mosheim for the past 65 years and was a member of McMillian Church where she attended as long as her health permitted. She was pianist for many years and taught preschool Sunday School and Vacation Bible school classes where she made sure that all the children knew that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
One of her greatest joys in life was working with children and spending time with family. She preferred that all the family children call her "Granny". That tradition started with nieces Velvet, Buffie, and nephew, Eli, and continued when she began to baby sit Holden, Emma, and sometimes Brayden. That is how she spent her time after retiring from GE, and enjoyed every minute. Her spoiling of children was laced with love and discipline because she knew that God created them that way and it reflected her upbringing. When Maxine became more home bound, she enjoyed special visits from younger niece and nephew, Hunter and Scout. All of these children hold very fond memories of fun times spent with "Granny Max".
