Anita Potter Harmon (85)  wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother left this life on January 4, 2025. She was surrounded by family, friends and neighbors. We celebrate her reunion with Lyman, her husband of 62 years.
Anita was born September 20, 1939, in Afton, Lincoln County, Wyoming.  She was the first of six children born to Walter and Euella Clark Potter.  Anita spent her first 19 years in Smoot, then moved to Fairview when she married Lyman on June 4, 1958.  Anita spent the rest of her life in Fairview, and loved the ward and neighbors.
Anita's membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was important to her. Lyman and Anita were sealed in the Logan Temple June 24, 2000 and Anita was so proud of Lyman as he served at the recommend desk in the Star Valley Temple.  Anita served in the Fairview Relief Society presidency, primary/scouting, Girl's Camp and Young Women's ball teams, and visiting teacher.  She was the Fairview Ward Historian and served as member/historian of Fairview Cemetery Board from 1989 until present.  Lyman and Anita were excellent dutch oven cooks, providing meals for many ward/family events.
Anita worked as the main secretary for Star Valley High school for 36 years.  During that time, she also coached the girls freshman basketball team, was assistant coach for both girls varsity basketball and volleyball, and cheerleader advisor.  Anita took great pride in her work at the school.   She was meticulous  and everything ran like clockwork, especially  ball tournaments and graduations.  She made sure faculty and students knew their place and nothing was left to chance. Anita may be best known for her home and amazing yard.  Many garden clubs visited over the years and she loved trying new things.  She was actively mowing, weeding and taking care of everything until the time of her death.
Lyman and Anita raised two sons, two daughters and followed nine grandchildren in all their sports and activities.  Her favorite things were always family first.  Gardening, birdwatching and reading.  She loved watching selected sports, especially the Utah Jazz and Olympics. She was a master seamstress-sewing many costumes and decorations.  Her quilts and crocheted afghans for family and friends were painstakingly perfect and shared with love.
Anita is survived by her sons Cody Lyman Harmon and Kelly W Harmon (Laurie).  Daughters Jodi Rae Larkin and Machelle Lancaster (Travis).  Nine  grandchildren, Kylie, Kelsey, Colter, Katie, Megan, Clayton, Luke, Casey, and Chloe. 12 great grandchildren with 1 on the way.  Sister Iris Hillstead (Richard) and brothers Ron Potter (Gayla) and Von Potter (Susan) Sister-in law Ione Potter (Ernest)  She was preceded in death by her husband Lyman, parents Walter and Euella, brothers Ernest and Don.
The hearts of her family are broken but we know she is happy and with Lyman.
