Letha Harsh
July 26th, 1924 — June 13th, 2015
Letha Ann Harsh passed away at the age of 90 in the comfort of her home. She was born in Ault, Colorado, the daughter of Frank Lopez and Juanita (Martinez) Lopez of Round Top, New Mexico. She had 12 sisters and brothers. Letha and Daniel Harsh moved to Rangely, Colorado where their first son, Gene, was born. Two years later Darrell was born, and at that time Gene became gravely ill, developing cerebral palsy. Letha gave 24 hour care to Gene for 13 years until his passing in 1962. Their daughter, Vicky, was born when the family lived in Englewood. Dan and Letha also raised Jim McDaniel during his teens, who now lives in Texas. In 1961, they moved to Broomfield for Dan's job at Wej-it Expansion Products. The family spent every summer camping and boating. Dan and Letha enjoyed motorcycling and going south for the winter in their fifth wheel camper until his passing in 1996.
Letha was known for her energetic, outgoing personality and many hours gathered around her kitchen table with family and friends. She always greeted her guests with goodies and loved chatting and playing cards or dominos. She was also an accomplished seamstress, often sewing late into the night. She was proud of her two grandchildren, Zachary Harsh and Valerie (Harsh) Semich.
Memorials may be made to RSLC's Cambodia Mission Fund, honoring the hundreds of crosses she was determined to make for this outreach in the last years of her life.
