Patricia Diane (Mason) Harbour was born on July 10, 1943, in Garretson, S.D. to Joseph A. Mason and Maxine L. Mason. She passed away on June 19, 2024 at the age of 80. Patricia grew up as an only child, and at the age of 10 she and her family moved southwest to Long Beach, CA.
She graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School, and furthered her education at Long Beach State University by earning her Bachelor’s degree in Education. Long Beach was also where she met her husband, Jay Harbour. They married on April 10, 1965, and were married for 59 years before her passing. In June of 1977, their family moved to Colorado from Carrolton, TX.
Throughout her life, Patricia held important jobs including being a homemaker, elementary school teacher, and a mother (the best mom ever). She also was an active member of the Longmont community, having been a member of Calvary Church since 1977. She enjoyed Bible Study, loved animals (especially dogs), snow skiing, and sailing. In her spare time at home, Patricia liked crafting of all kinds, including quilting and pillow making. Pat knew no strangers, especially children. She loved them all!
Patricia is preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Maxine Mason. She is survived by her husband Jay Harbour; their children Donald (Donnie) Mason Harbour, and Michelle Gene (Harbour) Eitel; grandchildren Carson J. Eitel (Kayla Joslin), Mason R. Eitel, and Aerionna Jo Harbour.
