Cara Sue Harmon Berlin, 63, of Many, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on August 30, 2026.

Born June 6, 1963, to Dan and Dorothea Harmon, Cara will be remembered for her compassion, generosity, and love for the people and animals in her life.

Cara had many passions. She rescued animals, refinished furniture, organized benefits, nurtured plants, and spent years creating her beloved “backyard park.” She loved camping, fishing, music, and attending concerts and was a devoted supporter of local musicians.

Cara worked as a sleep professional and took great pride in helping people with sleep disorders. Patient care was always her priority, and many of her colleagues became lifelong friends.

Cara treasured her years in Austin, Texas, but remained deeply proud of her Louisiana roots and her Lake Charles community.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Daniel B. Harmon Jr. and Dorothea Crowder Harmon, and her brother, Daniel B. Harmon III.

Cara is survived by one brother, Loran Harmon (Sherri) of Macon, GA; two sisters, Sheryll Handley of Fort Worth, TX, and Marda Waters (Steve Shaddox) of Spicewood, TX; one sister-in-law, Jan Harmon of San Antonio, TX; and her nieces and nephews, Michelle Wallace (Darrell) of San Antonio, TX, Danielle Harmon of Friendswood, TX, Gerry Handley (Melissa) of Highland Village, TX, Chris Handley of Richardson, TX, Deanna Ibarra (Jose) of Crowley, TX, Christine Arcizo (Arthur) of League City, TX, and Tricia Harmon (James) of Stone Mountain, GA. She is also survived by Jimmy Spencer of Rosepine, LA, her longtime companion, soulmate, and friend of 27 years. She leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends.

Cara lived a full life, touched many people along the way, and will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
