Marlene Renee' Harper

Marlene Renee' "Neigh" (Deckard) Harper, 55, of Bloomington sadly left us so unexpectedly early Saturday, June 10th, at her home to walk with the Lord. Renee' was born and raised in Bloomington on Sept. 25, 1956. She is the youngest daughter of Ervin and Joyce Deckard of Bloomington, whom were always there for her regardless of what time of day or night she need them or what the circumstances involved. Renee' was a graduate of B.H.S. South and she was also a graduate of Ivy Tech in Bloomington where she earned a degree in administrative sciences while raising two yo9ung sons at home by herself. She was a wonderful mother who never remarried and sacrificed so many things in her own life to raise, provide and care for her two sons that were her whole world. Through good times and bad, she never gave up or quit on raising them. She knew that regardless of any circumstance as long as her boys were healthy and they were all together, she could and would make it through anything. Renee' enjoyed doing anything outdoors, spending time with and talking to her Mother and Father, riding horses and she especially loved spending time with her two sons and grandchildren. She left us so suddenly and unexpectedly that it has torn a part of out of so many hearts that will be scared and undoubtedly hard to mend or accept for many years to come. Renee' loved the Lord and spoke to Him daily, even if for nothing more than just to watch over her mother, father, her brothers, her sisters, her sons and her grandchildren. She is survived by two sons; Randy Harper, Jr. and Toby Harper, both of Bloomington, her mother, Joyce Deckard of Bloomington, who has been her rock for so many years, one brother, Tony Deckard of Bloomington who was always her shoulder to cry on and talk to, whatever the time of day or night, without ever a judgmental word, two sisters; Vivian Corbin of Solsberry and Sharon Moore of Bloomington, who were always there for her in her time of need. She is also survived by four grandchildren; Bailey Harper, Jake Harper, Makayla Harper and her youngest Kylyn Harper, all of Bloomington, whom she greatly enjoyed and loved spending time with. It will be a void in there loives that can never be replaced by losing "Mamaw Neigh". She is so deeply loved by her grandchildren, 3 nieces, Vadonna Combs of Bloomington, Shannon Krebb, Bloomington and Missy Arter of Bedford, 4 nephews; Monty Moore of Pt. Charlotte, Fl, Clinton Moore of Bloomington, Justin Deckard and Rusty Deckard, both of Bedford along with many aunts, uncles and cousins from Idaho to Florida. She was preceded in death by her father, Ervin Deckard whom she loved and missed so dearly, her grandmother and grandfather Gibb and Elfred Deckard and her other grandmother, Elizabeth Deckard . Renee' was so dearly loved by all of her family for her caring, nurturing and fun loving nature with her family and all her children. She will be so greatly missed everyday by her family and many friends. Our hearts will never heal from this loss of someone so special. She will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.
