Gorma Rhea Rose, 75, of Mannford passed away Saturday July 16, 2016 at St. John’s Medical Center in Tulsa Oklahoma, from a long battle with cancer, to be with the Lord and her family. She was born in Lodi, Texas on November 13,1940. She was preceded in death by her parents Gorman R. Moore and Birdie Rhea Moore and a brother Charles Edward “Nig” Moore. Survivors include her husband of the home, Patrick Harrison, one daughter, Cheryl Rene’ Andrews of Mannford, Oklahoma.

She was born in Lodi, Texas and moved as a child to Shawnee, Oklahoma where she graduated from Bethel High School at the age of 16. She excelled in school and had advanced several grades. She spent over 10 years in Chandler Oklahoma and moved to Tulsa in 1973. She worked as an accountant for several years before opening her own firm, Accounting Professionals, Inc. She semi-retired a few years ago but could never completely give up doing taxes and helping people with their monthly accounts. She was a master of money and loved helping people. She loved traveling around the world with her husband Patrick, an engineer, and often spoke of their trip to Ireland. For the first time in her life she got to fly first class and often said “That is how I should always get to travel.” They were able to travel over most of the United States but were unable to fulfill her last bucket list item of traveling to Maine to eat Lobster. But her favorite place was always to come home to her 10 acres in Mannford. There will be two (2) celebrations of her life: July 30th at 7550 S. 337th West Ave. in Mannford at 2:00 p.m. and another on August 13th at Northridge Church of Christ in Shawnee Oklahoma at 2:00 p.m. Her smile, laughter and guidance will be greatly missed and there is not enough room in all of the internet, to express what a great wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother (Nana) and friend she was.
