Mrs. LaVerne Jones Harwell, age 96, of Winder, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 13, 2023.
Mrs. LaVerne was deeply loved and respected by her husband, children and grandchildren. She and her husband, “Red” celebrated 72 years of marriage working side-by-side for 20 years managing Harwell Aero service.
Mrs. LaVerne had a great appreciation for nature and never failed to notice beautiful flowers, colorful leaves and always grateful for rain that helped it all grow. In retirement, Mrs. Laverne enjoyed gardening, fall trips to Gatlinburg TN, Highlands NC, and spending time with family and friends. She loved her church family at Union Baptist where she was a faithful member for 55 years. She found great joy in teaching her young adult Sunday school class.
Mrs. LaVerne loved God, her family, friends, and neighbors. She was like sunshine, bringing light everywhere she went and always aware of people and their needs. At the age of 95 she could be found driving her golf cart and giving out treats to her furry neighbor friends.
Most of all, Mrs. LaVerne would want you to know she loved Jesus and wanted everyone else to know His love too!
