Jacqueline Harmon

Jacqueline Marie Harmon, daughter of Donald Sr and Trecy Miller was born July

7, 1955, in St. Georges, DE. On the morning of Monday December 18, 2023, she

gained her wings.

Jacqueline received her early education in the Middletown, DE, and graduated

from Wilmington High School in 1973. She attended Drexel University where she

studied Fashion Design and then Wilmington College where she obtained her

Associates degree; she later returned back to school and completed her Bachelors.

Over the years Jacqueline held several positions, the old Sear Department store

(Lea Blvd & Market St), Hercules Research Center, MBNA and The News

Journal.

In 1979, Jacqueline married Hezekiah Harmon III and was the proud mother of

three children: Starlandria, Phrydae and Hezekiah IV.

As a child she enjoyed taking road trips with her siblings to visit family ‘down the

country’ in Middletown and especially to New York to see her cousin Leandra.

Jacqueline was very creative, she enjoyed both knitting and crocheting; she

crocheted blankets for her children and grandchildren, and even crochet clothes

when Phrydae was in high school. She was most known for her love of sewing; she

could hem your pants or make you a whole new pair. There were no limits to what

she could do, if it was curtains or reupholstering furniture, she created something

beautiful in every project she put her hands too. In her teenage years, she was able

to design and create clothing without a pattern. She not only made her own

wedding gown but did the same for other family members as well. Her proudest

work was done for her children, she created Phrydae’s prom dress and all the

gowns for the bridesmaids in her wedding.

Jacqueline was also no stranger to the kitchen, her most memorable dishes, were

meatloaf, mac & cheese, liver & onions, stuffed peppers, goulash, beef stew, and

potato salad. There were times when even if she was offered a plate, she would

decline and go cook her own food.

Anyone who knew Jacqueline, knew she loved and nurtured her children and

grandchildren. She made sure her children had a strong faith foundation and even

taught Sunday School herself in her early years. For several years, she also took

care of her niece and nephew, Monica and DJ whom she loved like her very own

and instilled in them the same values.

What many didn’t know was that she adopted a fur-baby named Gloria. HT gave

her a beautiful white rabbit for Christmas last year. She was just as protective of

Gloria as she was the rest of her children ...maybe even more. She would cut up

fruits and vegetables to make sure she had treats to eat and if Gloria was out

getting exercise, she wasn’t content until Gloria was back in the house where she

belonged.

Over the past few years, she most enjoyed family gatherings, crossword puzzles,

going shopping, listening to her girl Shirley Caesar, eating crabs on the weekends,

and taking family trips. Her favorite movie was The Preachers Wife, but she also

liked watching Jeopardy, Family Feud and anything on Channel 6. Recently she

started attending the local Senior Center, in which she also enjoyed.

She was preceded in death by her parents Donald Sr. and Trecy Miller.

Jacqueline leaves to cherish her memory, her children Starlandria, Phrydae Todd

(Derrick Sr.) and Hezekiah IV. Grandchildren Lacey Jr and Ineiyriall Evans,

Dajae, Syncere, Derrick Jr. and Pharrah Todd, and Hezekiah Harmon V. Siblings
