Gina Harkins, Yoakum, TX—The Yoakum community is mourning the unexpected loss of Gina Harkins, who passed away on Sunday, September 15th. At just 50 years old, her passing has deeply affected her family and friends, leaving them heartbroken.
Gina is remembered for her boundless love and care, treating everyone she knew like family. She cherished her blended family from her previous marriage to Thomas Harkins, particularly doting on his grandchildren, who lovingly called her "Grandma G." Her nieces, Kaitlyn (Katy) Arnold and Elizabeth (Beth) Flake, are now her closest surviving relatives, tasked with managing her estate and belongings. The suddenness of her passing has created significant challenges for them, as Gina’s affairs were not yet in order, requiring legal assistance to manage her estate.
Beth Flake took to Facebook to share her grief, stating, "On Sunday, September 15th, we lost my sweet Aunt Gina Harkins. It was completely unexpected and sudden and has rocked our world upside down. She loved everybody as her own and lived such a carefree life. We will miss her personality the most."
Support has poured in through a GoFundMe campaign, organized by Elizabeth Flake, to cover Gina’s cremation, service costs, legal fees, and to help clear out her and their grandmother’s belongings from the home. The fundraiser has so far raised $300 out of a $10,000 goal, with donations from kind supporters like Mazen Nabulsi, Maria Galvan, and Oleksandra Rebchunovska.
The Facebook community has also offered their condolences:
- "So sorry Beth! Praying for your family," wrote Daisy Kim Phillips.
- "Praying for you and your family!" added Ali Muehlstein.
- "Sorry for your loss. Praying for your sweet family!" commented Tammy Morton.
- "I’m so sorry. Sending love and hugs," expressed Kristen Shumbera.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Gina’s family during this difficult time. May her memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
