Harlene Padding, 67, of Kalona Iowa, beloved sister, aunt, friend and teacher, passed away quietly into the arms of her Lord on Friday, Jan. 10, 2020 from complications of cardiac disease.
She was a long time faculty member at Cono, well-remembered for her care and constant love for students. She is perhaps most known for her expert accompanying of the Cono Choir.
Harlene was born and raised in Michigan and received her teaching degree and a master’s degree from Calvin College. She was an active member of her church in sharing musical talents of organ and piano and teaching Sunday School.
Visitation was Monday, January 13th at New Hope Evangelical PCA, 420 N. Front Street in North Liberty. Funeral services were Tuesday at the church. Burial will be in the East Drenthe Cemetery in Drenthe, Michigan. Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service in Iowa City handled arrangements.
Instead of flower and plants, memorials may be directed to Pathway Christian School, 5764 Hwy 1 SW, Kalona, Iowa, 52247 or to Ridge Haven, 215 Ridge Haven Road, Brevard, NC, 28712. (designate gifts to “Cono Campus”)
Harlene is survived by her siblings Donna and Lyle McCann, William Padding, Carl and Cheryl Padding and Gayle and Sterrett Carter, nephews, nieces, grand nephews and nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Harlene was preceded in death by her parents, John and Gertrude Padding.
