February 9 and 10, 2005:
Arpa Harms of Dallas died Feb. 5 in Dallas. She was 85.
She was born to John K. and Eva Wedel Reimer in Vanderhoof, British Columbia. The family had moved there the previous year. Later in 1919 the family moved to Dallas. She graduated from Dallas High School in 1937 and attended Multnomah School of the Bible for two years.
In 1941 she married Andrew Harms in Dallas in a double wedding ceremony with his brother, Frank and her sister, Esther. They lived in Dallas the rest of their lives.
Church was a central part of her life. She was baptized and became a member of the Dallas Mennonite Brethren Church as a youth. She was particularly involved with a missionary aid group and even in 2004 quilted with a group that raised funds for missions.
Family and extended family were the biggest part of her life. She was a devoted wife and was the daily provider within the home. She enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Along with Andy, she was a gardener. After Andy retired in 1978 they traveled more with the Salem Golden Agers and travel trailering with the Caravan for Christ group.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Andy in 1998 and seven siblings.
Survivors include her sons, Galen Harms of Dallas and Marlin Harms of Morro Bay, Calif.; daughter, Connie Wilson of Tualatin; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Services were Feb. 8 at the Dallas Mennonite Brethren Church and interment was in Dallas Cemetery.
Contributions may be made to the Dallas Retirement Village Foundation in care of Dallas Mortuary Tribute Center which handled the arrangements.
