Arneita Harris O'Brien, 84, of Farmington, passed away peacefully Monday, April 13, 2009, in Farmington. She was born November 5, 1924, in Taos, to Ercie and Lila Wood. Arneita lived in many places, mostly in New Mexico, as her family struggled through the Depression years. She married Carl Harris in January 1943, and they determined to give their family a loving and stable home life. She lived about 60 years in the Albuquerque area before moving to Farmington in 2003. She was preceded in death by Carl; her parents; two brothers, W.E. "Woody" Wood and Dean Wood; grandson, Kenneth Perrin; and Virgil O'Brien. She is survived by her sister, Drucilla Bailey; her two daughters and their husbands, Fran and Cliff Perrin and Rita and Rick Lo Presto; six grandchildren, Phil Perrin of Maryland, Brent, Brian and Tammy Lo Presto of Oklahoma, Ginger Dynneson of Montana, Kimberly Wood of Farmington, seven terrific great-grandchildren; and many dear friends. She was a superb wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker and friend and will be dearly missed for her quick laugh and loving spirit. As a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, she was blessed with a loving and supportive church family which made her move to Farmington easier. Graveside Services will be at 11 a.m. today, Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at Fairview Cemetery in Albuquerque. Memorial contribution may be made to the Baptist Children's Home through Emmanuel Baptist Church, 211 W. 20th St., Farmington NM 87401.
