Carolyn J. Harmon, 84, of Muscatine, passed away Saturday, May 22, 2021, at Unity Point Health - Trinity Muscatine.

Carolyn was born December 3, 1936, in Allerton, IA, the daughter of Albert Henry and Velma Lucille Lance Elder. She married Elton J. Sandidge on October 6, 1956. Two wonderful daughters, Teresa Lynn and Tamara Sue, whom she loved very much, were born from that union. She later married Ron Harmon, Sr. in 1985. They were later divorced.

Carolyn attended a one room schoolhouse in Primrose, IA. She graduated from high school in Donnellson, IA, in 1954, and went on to attend Lakeview Memorial Hospital Nursing School from 1954 to 1957. She was a registered nurse and worked in that capacity for fifty-plus years. She enjoyed her career very much and loved helping people.

She loved animals, especially dogs but was unable to have one in her later years due to illness.
