Leona M. Harriman's Obituary
Leona M. Harriman, age 90, went home to be with her Lord because of her faith in Jesus on Monday, November 6, 2023, and with the assurance knowing that “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

She was a long-time member of St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, and worked for Farm Bureau Insurance for 30 years before retiring in 1998. Leona was warm hearted, and known for her thoughtful and personal gestures. Leona’s passion for knitting and crocheting beautiful afghans brought joy to her loved ones. She was known for her warm hugs, and her presence was cherished by her family and friends, as she left a positive and heartful impact on their lives.
On June 2, 1956, she married Maurice Harriman and together they spent 54 years together before he preceded her in death on May 14, 2010. SURVIVORS include her children, Thomas (Sandra) Harriman, Dr. Gerald (Nancy) Harriman, Raymond Harriman; five grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; brother, Charles (Judy) Mulholland and many very special and supportive nieces and nephews.
