She was born April 18, 1923 in Portland, the daughter of George and Florence Colbeth.

She will be remembered for her lovely smile, sense of humor and her kindness and generosity to those in need. She was predeceased by her parents; husbands, Herbert Harmon and Joseph Spencer; brother, Clifford; sisters, Helen and Alice; and sons-in-law, Charlie Eye and Harry Schors Sr. Surviving are a brother, Warren Colbeth; sisters, Georgia Day and Marion Voita and her husband, Walter, all of Bucks Harbor; sons, George Harmon and wife, Kathy, of East Machias and Gary Harmon of Machias; daughters, Marilyn Eye and friend, Phil Grant, of Machiasport, Jane Spencer and husband, Glenn, of Machias and Pamela Jones and husband, Scott, of Trescott; grandchildren, Timothy Eye, Sam Schors, Christopher Schors, Natalie Houde, Tracie Anderson, April Armstrong, Christina Lunn, Jason Spencer, Jamie Wright, Darcie Radley and Miranda Spencer; several great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, friends too numerous to mention; and special friends, Louise Proctor, Jeff Wilcox and Ashley Sprague.
