Potter Harmon

Although I'm gone from here, don't fret or fear.  Although we are apart, know that I am still with you, deep within your heart.

Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt Matilda Ann Potter Harmon, was born to the late Wesley and Mary Daisy Brown Potter on July 25, 1932 in Vernon, FL, Washington County.

Matilda transitioned from this world on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 2:26 a.m. when God called her home to rest.

She accepted Christ at a very early age and joined St. Luke A.M.E. Church.  She met the love of her life, William Goode Harmon, Sr and they were married on September 22, 1956.  They lived happily in holy matrimony for 56 years until his death on February 25, 2012.

Matilda was a devoted wife, mother and cherished member of the community.  She was known for her unwavering love, generosity and vibrant spirit.  Matilda was an entrepreneurial soul, having built a life filled with purpose, hard work and dedication selling produce.  She had a deep passion for producing fresh and quality vegetables.  An avid angler, Matilda found joy in spending her free time fishing, embracing tranquility and peace the water brought her. She had a profound love of basketball and played basketball at Roulhac High School.

She was preceded in death by her husband William G. Harmon, Sr. and son Allen Steven Harmon.

An eternity of precious memories is left with a caring and devoted family including her four sons: Marion Harmon (Grace), Tallahassee, FL, William L. Harmon (Cynthia), Gainesville FL, Herbert Harmon (Margaret), Tallahassee, FL and William G. Harmon, Ocala, FL.;  One sister: Elsie Harmon, Chipley, FL; nine beloved grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and a host of many nieces, nephews, cousins, loving relatives and friends.
