(permission granted)
Harry Glenn Haefner, 79, of Perry, Oklahoma passed away
at his home on September 6, 2018. He was born on August
20, 1939 to Harry and Vannie (Parker) Haefner just
northeast of Perry. Harry was born and raised in Perry
and graduated from Perry High School in 1957.
After graduation he met the love of his life, Janice,
and they instantly connected. They were married in 1963
and the rest is history. He joined the Air Force and
served our country for 22 years before retiring. They
moved around to various places due to his time in the
service which worked out wonderfully because they both
loved to travel. They were in California for quite some
time and were stationed at Travis Air Force Base. While
in California they had their first 2 children, Mike and
Dawn Haefner. They later moved Albuquerque, New Mexico,
where they had their youngest child, Peggy Haefner, and
then moved to Arizona. The whole family packed up and
stayed in England for about 3 years before moving back
to Oklahoma.
After his retirement from the military, he decided to go
to school in his late 40s. Harry attended Oklahoma State
University and received his bachelor’s degree in
agriculture economics. Upon graduation he became a
financial planner for IFMAPPS at OSU for 17 years.
Harry was the kind of man that always stayed busy. He
loved to read a good book and was intrigues by mysteries
and history novels. He also enjoyed his time out at the
farm raising his cattle and farming for wheat. He was a
phenomenal cook and had a green thumb. He enjoyed
gardening and being outdoors, but there was nothing he
loved more than his family and friends. Harry was an
All-American man and will be greatly missed by all who
knew him.
Cherishing his memory are his wife, Janice Haefner;
children, Mike Haefner of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, Dawn Kimmes
of Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Peggy Tallman of Cushing,
Oklahoma; sisters, Cindy Mills of Forth Worth, Texas,
Ada of Nebraska, and Minnie Haefner of Sapulpa,
Oklahoma; brother, William Haefner of Joshua, Texas; 10
grandchildren; and 7 great grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his sister, Bonnie Mitchell,
and his brother, LeRoy Haefner.

Pastor JB officiating.
Visitation will be held from
