Fern Harlan She leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication
Fern Harlan, who passed away peacefully at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington, at the age of 91, is remembered for her love and dedication to family and community. Born in 1933 on a Nebraska ranch, she moved to Seattle in 1952, where she married R. A. in 1953. Together, they raised four children while she maintained a spotless home and became known for her exceptional baking skills.
Fern pursued further education in bookkeeping to assist her husband with his business, demonstrating her resilience and independence. She devoted countless hours to nurturing babies in her church nursery, reflecting her nurturing spirit. Fern is survived by her four children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, with her most recent residence in Bothell, close to family. Friends are grateful for the support they provided during her life. A private family service will be held in June to honor her legacy.
