Harlene graduated from Omega High School, class of 1957, and one of her favorite accomplishments was winning the Omega girls basketball state championship in 1955. She went on to have a successful career at Cimarron Electric as a dispatcher, where she dedicated over 20 years of service before retiring.
Harlene is survived by her son, Criss Huckins, and his wife, Deby, of Sulphur, Louisiana; her granddaughters, Amber Albers of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and Megan Huckins of Lake Charles, Louisiana; her grandson, Matthew Huckins of Kingfisher, Oklahoma; her brother, Kerwin Crist, and his wife, Pat, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; her sister, Gaytha Kreymborg of Edmond, Oklahoma, and sister-in-law, Wanda Crist, of Krugerville, Texas.
