Cleo L. Harmon, founder of the Harley Harmon Insurance Agency and a 61-year resident of Las Vegas, died Friday at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. She was 82.

She is survived by sons Harley L. and Jeff Harmon, both of Las Vegas; a sister, Dorthea Rasqui; and five grandchildren.

The family suggests contributing to the Harley Harmon Elementary School Library.
